Default Repairing Heated Steering Wheel and Convenience Close? I STFA

My 98 2.8 is supposed to have the heated steering wheel because I have the cold weather package. Anyways, it doesn't work. I tried searching, but couldn't find if anyone has repaired or fixed their steering wheel.

Also, my convenience open/close feature is acting up. All the windows open fine, but when i put the key into the lock position and hold it, all the windows go up EXCEPT the rear window on the drivers side???

Thanks

Default The only way to fix the heated steering wheel is to replace it...

...the heating elements are known to burn out after time.

Not sure why the windows are acting that way. Does it go up with the one-touch feature from the inside switch?
