Dear Friends,
My drivers side seat warmers seems to be always on. It is really annoying. Does anyone have any suggestions? Should I take apart the console and look if there are any bad connections? Should I check the fuses and/or battery connection? I am baffled. It would be a shame if I had to bring my car into the stealership if it was something really simple..

Is the light out, and do you rotate the switch till it clicks, does it click?
if it was fuse etc I dont think it would work at all, so check the switch first.

the switch shoud be opening the circuit turning the heater off when it clicks, the switch must be bad.

I agree the switch must be bad. I took apart the seat warmer assembly, just under the gear shift and above the center console, and it appears to work fine.
There is an electrical plug that I am going to disconnect to test whether it is in fact the switch causing the malfunction. I think I could probably find the part online and connect it myself, if all esle fails.
However, first I was thinking that I would dissconnect and reconnect the battery, since dissconnecting the battery resets some electrical functions, I think?
Any other ideas? Thanks in advance, Brett

If the passanger seat works fine can you not switch the switches to determin if its just the drivers switch.
