Re: 850 parts suppliers reference
thanks to all who posted on this... great feedback saved me more time and $ than I would have by dealing with the cheapest of suppliers. Got the car fixed real nice with parts from various recommendations, and a great mechanic who works for $45.00 here in Ontario ( when everyone else is $90.00?hr++)...

Re: 850 heated seat not working
it is as described in previous posts. the hog rings are the biggest issue, but once you get past that stage of the game, you should be good. the heat pad is surprisingly easy to remove as mine was simply placed between foam and leather.

Season Greeting Everyone! Hope you have a safe and happy holiday where every you may be. No doubt I'll need your help in the future for sure! With that, wife's 850 blows some smoke at start up, and after idling for 3-5 minutes. after a 3,000rpm for 10-15 sec seems to "clean" things up, but...

Re: 850 heated seat not working
The seat heated for only a couple of days after I found the broken wire.
I'll have to venture into removing the seat cover to get to the heat element. I found a heat pad at an automotive electronics store for $15.00 new. might give it a try.
I just HAVE TO FIX it!:)
