How to Replace Seat Heater Switches 05-10 Chrysler 300

Difficulty: Beginner · About 20 min · Chrysler 300

Replace the heated-seat switches in the center dash panel of a 2005–2010 Chrysler 300 while protecting the console trim and electrical connectors.

Steps

1. Prepare the center panel

   Park the vehicle, switch the ignition off, and remove the rubber tray from the center stack. Open the ashtray so its panel can be accessed without forcing the surrounding trim.

2. Release the switch panel

   Carefully draw the ashtray assembly out far enough to reach its connectors. Unplug the lighter and heated-seat switch harnesses by releasing their locks, then press the switches out from behind the panel.

3. Install the replacement switches

   Snap each replacement switch into the panel in its original orientation. Reconnect the switch and lighter plugs, checking that every connector lock is fully engaged.

4. Reassemble and verify

   Seat the ashtray panel evenly in the dash and replace the rubber tray. Turn the ignition on and test both heated-seat controls, then return the transmission selector to Park if it was moved.

Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
