Just wanted to give you kudos on an amazingly informative video. My 15 Silverado has the same issue and I think that I will eventually tackle the same project myself rather than paying the dealership to overprice me for doing the same thing. Videos like yours is what makes the RUclips community so great and are such a wealth of information for DIY people out there.
Thank you very much. I agree, I have found many solutions to projects I needed to tackle on RUclips. We are fortunate to live in a time where we can easily fine someone who has done something before us and show us how. Hope my video helps you out.
I had the power cable break on the vibrator for the drivers side park assist and my heated seat stopped working awhile ago. I went ahead and replaced both, your video was very helpful.
Is that yellow connection point the only electric connection? My heaters don’t work at all…. I’m thinking it’s gotta be the module underneath the driver seat, there’s no way that all four elements went out.
Great video. The upper part on my drivers side seat doesn't work but the lower one does. Watching your video will help me to replace my upper element. Thanks again!
Thank you for the video! I was able to use it to replace my heating element as well. You have more patience than I for sure, holding the camera will pulling some of those clips :)
Hey brother amazing job dealership wanted to charge me $1500 to replace both top and bottom heater elemets amd replace the foam on the seats they said " oh ya we have to replace the WHOLE SEAT CUSHION" parts labor out the door was going to be close to $1500 for EVERYTHING thanks again now i have an idea of how to do it guess i will find out how to do the back heater elenents when i get the parts in and ready to install
Well I tackled the project and even replaced the bad hepatic motor while I was in there using another video on RUclips. All went exactly as you showed in your video and all worked perfectly, thanks again probably saved $500 fixing both myself. 👍👍 Excellent video.
Thanks for the info... now the kicker... evidently they changed something in 15 and there's a 1st and 2nd design mat so like stated check part and vin. Going to tackle the mat and the dang lane departure motor next week..
I have a 2004 GMC Envoy and only see one button to adjust it, not two. With all the features it has you would think there was a way to release the head restraint. The manual is no help, either. Maybe, I am missing something? Thanks, though, and appreciate the info!
The part number shown at the beginning of the video is for the seat bottom ONLY. Go to gmpartsgiant.com and search for part 22878865. That is for a seat back, BUT be sure to check the fitment to insure it is the right part for your particular truck. I have not replaced a back element, so I can not speak to whether this is the correct part or not.
How do you cool a seat without perforated leather covers like Cadillac used to do doesn’t seem to efficient typical cheap GM quality using sticky tape and plastic clips to hold seat components together I have a 14 Silverado and I feel cheated at least Toyota still uses metal rods and “hog” rings in their seats
No, you are mistaken. Look up the URL at the beginning of the video. It says "Seat Heater." If you are just doing a search for that part number, some sites do call it a cooler, but it is not. Besides, I know what I replaced.

For not having a cameraman, you did a fantastic job! Thanks!
Thank you! Hope you find it helpful.

Thank you. I'm glad to hear it helped.
This was a great help on my 2016 chevrolet tahoe only a couple minor differences with the trim for the seat base and belt but everything was the same.
Cool. I'm glad it helped you out.

Thank you! Perfect amount of detail and tips. Helped me replace the elements in my 14.

Hey, Look on youtube, there are guys that make aftermarket higher density foam cushions, and they show how to do everything to replace on your own
$1500, that's crazy! Good luck with the backs.
Great job.. now get the vacuum in there.
Wow, this is an awesome video, was going to pay the stealor the $300+ to fix now I think I will tackle myself. Thanks a ton.
Thanks. I'm glad it helps out!

So I have the same issue but
Both heated don't work
But yet the cooling only seems to work on the back
Is that a heating and cooling pad?
Yes.
Good job thanks.
Thank you!
Yeah, I could see completely Fkn this up lol. Thxs for the video.
There's a vinyl siding tool that would be perfect to remove the seat cover tabs.
Yea it's a zipper tool. I got one. Handy thing. I'll definitely use it when fixing my acadia seat warmer.
I does this heatin element work for the back to or is a there one for the back ? My back heat isn’t working but my butt heat is still working ?

Ebay $27.99 for the pair
I know this is an old video, but part#23223774 is the seat cooler, not the heater and you replaced the cooler not the heater in the video.
