My heater stopped heating/blowing. I opened her up and checked continuity in the elements, the thermal fuse, and through the rheostat control.

The continuity through all but the rheostat control were complete. Is there a place I may purchase a replacement rheostat control fixture?

    Got what I paid for....nuthin! I stated in my question that I had already diagnosed the problem, I was asking where to get the replacement part. If you would have my question, you MIGHT have offered a valid answer.

SOURCE: ACTIVATING DRIVERS " SEAT HEATER" SWITCH BLOWS FUSE

This would Definately be a Short And, Yes you Can just replace the Pad. Could just be that the Wiring is in a Bind and needs to be Moved around. Seeing that it only has 5000 K on it, It should still be Under the Factory Warranty and they should repair this Free of Charge.

SOURCE: 91 toyota camry door ajar light stays on along with the chime

Probably a faulty door switch. Are you familiar with what I'm talking about. Little push like switches that the doors push on as they close, usually on door post by latch end, or sometimes in jamb of door at hinge end.

SOURCE: Hot and Cold no Blow

Most likely it will be the blower. Check to see if there is power to it, and then ground it. If it runs, the blower speed control is likely bad. If not it will be the blower motor.

Heated driver seat doesn't heat on 2001 Buick Regal GS

You have probably burnt up the element as it is a 17 year old seat now. The elements are replaceable, but the labor is pretty spendy. To test it you will need a multimeter to check for continuity across the connectors that go to the seat heating elements and check for voltage at the car side of the connector. If you have 12v to one side of the connector and continuity to ground at the other side, and do not have continuity to the seat side between the connectors, you know it is a bad element.

2002 dodge stratus v6 4dr sedan. the a/c worked fine but the heater stopped working. had the thermostat & actuator replaced. now the heater works but not the a/c. how do I make the a/c work agai

Used to be vacuum controlled, but now the doors inside the heater/AC suitcase (housing under the dash for the heater and a/c unit) are electrical rheostat controlled, and tend to give problems. These rheostats open and close the doors used to control where hot air and cold air is tunneled to the dash vents. (the hot to cold dial on the dash is a rheostat which controls an electric motor connected to a door, which opens for hot air, and closes for cold air). The rheostat or motor, it controls, has gone bad. Find an independent garage that you like, (NOT the stealership) and the price to fix will be a lot cheaper and more reliable. Good Luck

Heated seats in Pontiac Grand Prix 2006 stopped working

If the light and the fuse are good then you probably have a open in one of the heated elements.You need to ohm the upper then the lower heater elements to see which one is bad.The connectors are under the seat.

P0037. heater sen. where is it on the engine?

The code is for the heater in the O2 sensor bank one sensor two. That would be the sensor after the catalytic converter on bank one.
It could be the sensor itself or the power supply for the heater.

2005 Buick Terraza drivers heated seat not working. Fuse is ok on panel. passenger heated seat works fine. What could it be?

Could be break in power, ground, or heat element itself.
Look under seat and disconnect heater. Check there for power and ground with test light.
Then check continuity across the element with ohmmeter.
Bad ones are usually infinite resistance, which means an open break.

Thermal fuse keeps blowing. Dryer heats up too

The problem will be either your vent is stopped up or the cycling thermostat and the high limit thermostat are bad. If the vent is clean, both the cycling thermostat and the high limit thermostat are welded closed. Both are supost to open to avoid over heating. Go to www.partselect.com and enter your complete model number. It will bring up diagrams of you machine. From there you can find the parts ans also order them if you want to. Good luck.
