How to Troubleshoot the Heated Seats in a Dodge

Dodge manufacturers many types of vehicles from trucks, vans and SUVs to sedans and sports cars. Some Dodge vehicles are equipped with heated front seats. The seats have a built-in heating system that can be turned on at the touch of a button, located on the side of the seat. Heated seats are a great feature if you drive in cold winter months. If your heated seats are not working properly, the most likely reason is that the electrical fuse needs to be replaced.

Things You'll Need

  • Replacement fuse
  • Turn on the heated front seat in your Dodge by pushing the side power button. Let the seat heat up for one minute. If you do not feel any heat when you touch the seat, replace the fuse.

  • Locate the fuse box under the driver's side console in your Dodge vehicle. Refer to your owner's manual for a diagram of the fuse box location, if you are unable to locate it on your own. Remove the fuse box cover. You'll notice that a diagram of the fuses is printed on the cover. Locate the fuse for the heated seat.

  • Remove the fuse for the heated seat by sliding it out. Throw the fuse away. Slide the replacement fuse into place and close the fuse box cover. Turn on the heated seat switch and allow the seat to heat up for one minute. You should feel heat radiating from the seat.
