Hello Everyone -

Wondering if I can have some insight into a problem I discovered today. I put my windows down, and it's a chilly day, so I click on my heated seat. They worked just fine yesterday ... but alas there is no power to the switches (both driver and passenger) - no yellow light, no red light - at all. Window switches work just fine.

So I started by identifying and pulling the fuse for the heated seats. Fuse looked OK, but I swapped it with the back-up just in case. I turned the key one click (without starting the engine), and clicked the rocker switches. Both driver and passenger worked just as normal. Yay! Right? Then I turned the car on, tried the switch, and again, neither work.

Winter is coming and the heated seats were a big plus for me (since I DD the car 365 days/yr) and they come in handy up here in Buffalo.

Anybody have any suggestions so I can avoid a trip to the dealer? You input is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
