Problem for Ford 2006 Freestyle

By cubbiefan2 on Sep 16, 2008
I have a 2006 Ford Freestyle with heated seats. Recently the driver side seat quit heating. I swapped the heated seat module from under the seat with passenger side and still didnt work. Any suggestions?

- 2006 Ford Freestyle Limited currently awaiting heating elements to arrive at dealer. Both seats stopped working at approx 76000 miles. Fortunately I have extended warranty that will cover. Other folks have said a TSB is out about this issue. Don't have the number handy. - GuestJan 24, 2009
- My 06' freestyle has been to the dealer 3 times trying to correct a lukewarm (not hot) passenger seat, Both heating elements and the temp controller have been replaced, but it still does not get as hot as the driver seat (like it used to be). The last word I received when I picked up my car for the 3rd time was that Ford's reply (to the dealer) was that replacement heaters are not being made to get real hot, because of possible fire danger. Supposedly that is how the seats are/will be in the Lincoln. Check the URL's below concerning heat damage in other Ford cars.http://www.fixya.com/cars/t649758-drivers_seat_heater_zx5_caught_fire

Could be that the wiring for the heater is broken, or that the heating element itself has been damaged. Has anyone knelt on the seat when reaching in to get something out of the car? Or has anyone stood on it (a child maybe)? Pressure like that can break the heaters and keep them from firing up.

It is the heatling element, stock elements have a single wire snaked through the element and when the circuit breaks it is done, aftermarket elements have a wired grid that if one area fails it still works, they also spread a more even heat.

I have the same problem, I brought it in, they replaced the elements and element assembly, still doesn't really work!! After driving for 20 miles, my seat will get "luke" warm. I can barely feel it!!

My 2005 Freestyle Ltd recently developed the same issue. Driver's seat heater doesn't heat but passenger side heats fine. Red indicators light on the controls on either side. I would like a probable solution too.

Same problem with my 2005 Freestyle
Comment by chasencrowso, posted on Jan 02, 2009
I have the same problem in my 2005 Freestyle. I read on one site the soldering joint could have broken, but I don' t know. The guy a the dealer told me either both seats work or they don't, but not just one - so he accused me of having a colder **** than normal people since I said the passenger side still works. If anyone else has a solution, please let me know, because I don't think the mechanic at the dealer knows anything!
