Hello,
I am new to the forum looking for help with my vehicles problem. I have an 03 Z71 that has a problem with the heated seats.? I purchased the truck new and it now has 55K miles.? My wife drives the vehicle and uses the heated seats a lot.? The problem first started about 6 months ago with the drivers seat upper section getting hotter than normal.? At the time, the passenger seat worked normally.? From there, the problem changed to involve both seats.? If passenger seat would be turned on while the drivers side was already on, the drivers would shut off.? The drivers could then be turned back on, but both would turn off after only a few minutes.? The problem has now progressed to the point that the drivers side will not stay on longer than a few seconds.? The passenger side works OK by itself, but as soon as the driver seat is turned on, both turn off immediately.
My grasping as straws think it may be a current sensing issue and or a short.? I would have thought each seat would have its own overload protection, but they seem to be tied together.? I don't have access to schematics and have no clue where to start.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Tim
