I checked for you and there are no recalls specific to the 2003 D and heated seats BTW.

Heated seats as a general rule tend to fail over time. Elements are prone to breakage.

How about more details on what your issue is. No 2003 here however decades worth of general Durango knowledge in the forums. May be worth a shot, we can help if we have a bit more to go on.

My research says if the "Hi" light is blinking, it means the element is open. Most likely, one of the wires in the heated seat element burned up, and opened the circuit. You'll need to have the heated seat element replaced. If you remove the leather cover on your seat, you'll probably see a scorch mark where the problem is.

If the other light is blinking, it means that the element is shorted. Either way, the heating element needs to be replaced.

HTH,

IndyD
