Colorado seat heater issue

Hey, I'm having a weird issue with my 2005 Chevy Colorado with the gasoline engine. My seat heater isn't working! It doesn't get warm at all, and my mechanic said there's some error stored. Any ideas what could be wrong? Hoping it's not too expensive!

Sounds like a bummer! Does the error code point to anything specific? From what you describe, it does sound like a possible failure of the heating element itself, or maybe even the thermal sensor. Have you checked the fuses related to the seat heater? That's always the first, easiest thing to rule out. Also, has anything been spilled on the seat recently? That could cause a short.

Thanks for the quick reply! I didn't see the error code myself, but the mechanic mentioned something about a problem with the heating element. I haven't checked the fuses yet (good idea!), and no, nothing's been spilled on the seat. If it is the heating element, is that a big job to fix? Are we talking major dashboard removal?

If the mechanic suspects the heating element and there's an error code pointing to it, chances are that's your culprit. Unfortunately, it's usually embedded within the seat cushion. Replacement typically involves removing the seat cover and replacing the heating mat. Based on what you've described, it would be best to have this looked at by a professional. The repair will likely be around 390€

Thanks a ton for the info! I'm taking it to my mechanic, and they're going to replace the heating mat. Sounds like you nailed it! I really appreciate the help in figuring this out.
