Another person asked a question about their 2000 Jeep Cherokee heated seats that quit working. Mine, too (not the first time). It's not a fuse, it's not an electrical problem. They heating elements are bad. I have learned that the company who made the heating components has gone out of business (surprise!) and they are no longer made. I have an extended warranty and want to make a claim for the depreciation in value. Anyone have any information on the cost of these seats? I had one person tell me $3,000 per. Looking for information. Thanks.

Its not like only those elements will work. You can put in a different type if you can find one that fits the seat. shouldnt be that hard.

I bet that, given that the manufacturer of the heating elements is out of business, the dealership will either know of another source for the heating elements, or they'll just pop a set of seats out of another Cherokee in the junkyard, and slip 'em into yours. Or maybe just swap in the heating elements from the donor jeep.
And $3000 per seat sounds awful high to me. I think someone is pulling your leg on that one.

The boat AND trailer weigh 2300lbs convinced? if so, you wouldn't have any issues towing. The vendors guide ought to state ideal towing technique. i understand on my cherokee the guide says to apply the "3" and not in any respect overdrive on the shifter. preserving it in D or overdrive could have the transmission "searching" for gears (from the added weight), or continuously shifting. shifting creates warmth. warmth kills transmissions. in case you tow many times, many will upload an oem transmission cooler - a sensible funding. force like you're towing!
