• Q: How to replace the front Seat Heater Pad on 2007 Buick Rendezvous?

  A: Begin the replacement process of front seat cushion heater elements by removing the front bucket seat furniture and its accompanying seat back and adjuster. The electrical connector for the heated seat requires disconnecting when present before removing j-hook retainers from the seat cushion front edges and sides and back. The same procedure applies to the hook and loop retainers that join the cushion cover. The hog rings on the cover must be unscrewed before undoing the cover from its position on the front seat cushion. A required replacement of the cushion takes place when damage occurs. Install the new heater element by placing it directly over the existing element unless this represents your second installation then remove the old replacement heater element first before setup. Apply hog rings to secure the front seat cushion cover while also using j-hook retainers on front, sides and rear sections and hook and loop retainers which need to be compressed until fully inserted. Reinstall the seat adjuster before connecting the electrical connector for heated seats if present and then install the seat back along with bucket seat. The avoidance of personal injuries requires that technicians zero out the passenger presence system before and after removing or changing either the seat cushion or trim due to it resulting in system failures. Passenger presence system re-zeroing needs to be performed as the last step.
