How do the elements actually work? I took the cover off of my seat cushion and found the wires to it ok. What i did find was a wire that looked fried going around in a circle around to the opposite side from where the wires are glued in. Is this still a feed wire or part of the actual element? I'm not sure when I could get pics for you to see. Might take a while. IS photobucket free? is it hard to use and post from there?

ok, another thought on this problem. How much of a problem would it cause to just bypass one of the elements in the seat cushion. would the other two still work? or would it make my wires get hotter than they should be? Is this a possibiltiy? I'm not worried about spending the money on the seat, I just want to see if there are other possibilities that people could do if they are low on money?

Why bypass an element? Can you see the three resin deposits used to seal each of the element connections? Can you find the heating element wires coming out of that connection area? Find the wires, cut into the foam to expose enough to re-solder to the feed wires. When you are done, pool some silicone or something like that around each of the connecton areas to protect them, and you are good to go.
