Seat heater element questions 200 1986

Hello to all -

In the midst of stripping out parts from my crusher-bound 1979 245DL, I discovered that the driver's seat has a seat heater in it. Sometime ago I must have installed a boneyard seat, since there is no wiring for the heater in the 245DL.

Question: Are the heater elements in the crusher-bound 1979 245DL worth removing and keeping for potential use in one of my other 240s? I have three GL models, all with seat heaters. Some work, some don't.

If a heater element is not working, can it be repaired? I remember reading that a solder-able connection at the thermostat breaks and might be reparable.

I really am in the midst of the stripping work, so I didn't look in the FAQs.

An answer will be greatly appreciated.

BTW I have both Haynes and Bentley explanations on how to remove the elememts, but if you have BTDT, any nifty tips will be very welcome.

Regards, and thanks in advance,

Bob
