Question Heated Seats problem..

So when I press my driver side heated seat switch, it turns on and then a second later it will cut right back. I am NO kind of rush to get the heated seats fixed just yet in the middle of July but I would like to hear some input from you guys.

You've got a short in the heating element for the seat. There is a tracer wire that run through the grid and it if sees a ground or fault, it shuts down the seat.

You'll need to pull the seat out, pull off the upholstery, find the problem and repair or replace.

Sorry, gave you a link to the Gearhead area where I was prepping the post before putting it out for the masses.

Mine turned out to be a broken wire and a bad module.
