Medabum Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 Today the heat to my passenger seat would toggle on and within a few seconds kick itself off. (my wife was pissed) Uconnect shows the toggle on, and I hear the slight click from the console as usual however turns off almost instantly. The car has been turned off multiple times and from other DCJDR forums seems like many of these heat elements fail relatively early. I found most of the complaints were on Ram and charger forums but im sure the same hardware and software is used in the dj as well . I took a quick look with a flashlight under the seat and didn't see anything disconnected or cut. Our DJ has 24500 miles on it and was bought new in june 2015. Sure...Its going to the dealer but has anyone else here experience this on their journey? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkeaton Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 Possibly a broken or shorted heating element. Only way to find out is to ohm out the elements and/or remove the seat cover and inspect them. 2late4u 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medabum Posted May 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 Jkeaton spot on, new heat element on order. At almost for two years ive been receiving flyers for the extended warranty. I really do love the car...however as others have posted I might just need to pull the trigger on that before my time is up. jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
