Yes.

Its caused by the multi-stranded element failing and developing a hot spot.

It will eventually either burn-through or go open circuit.

You have either got an Elite with cloth or any other model (except MV6) with leather.

The hot spot can be fixed - but it's VERY Time consuming. The other option is to fit an after market heating pad - but this still means stripping the seat down - which is a complex job.

Update your profile with location and details of your car and that might allow others to help you if they are local.

You are welcome.

Just to let you know that the facelifted cards have different seat heaters from the earlier cars.

If your car has rotary seat heater controls with numbers then its a facelift model, if it has a simple on/off switch with yellow light then its a mini-facelift model.
