Anyone have any experience with eBay or Amazon aftermarket replacement heated seat elements? How about the Seat Shop? My drivers seat in the 05 Yukon will trip out almost immediately. It has a dual button (back only, or back and butt). No matter the selection it trips off leading me to think the back has an open circuit (or maybe both at this point). I've been wanting to fix this for the last 2 years but was hesitant on aftermarket kits performing as well (hot as in temp) as our OEM ones do. I prefer it pretty warm, and if you have ever owned a GMT800 you know its a completely different level of warm than any other.
I see some NOS ($200 plus!) for a single element, or used units on eBay. The aftermarket kits range from $50 for a set of cheapies, to $140 for a set from the Seat Shop. Feedback appreciated if you have been in this position, as much as I don't want to say it winter is coming!
