driver side heated seat problem
 

Ok so here's the deal my fuse for the seat warmers keep blowing out. I tried to see which one was it. New fuse; passenger side...nothings blows seat warms up. I cut that off and put the driver side on....burning smell no warm butt. Fuse finally gives out. Is there any reason why this keeps happening? Its been 14 degrees here in philly and I need them in my life right now lol

Its resistive heating, so probably got an issue in the heating element in the seat. Im not sure if its changable. It could be a short too though... where is the burning smell coming from?

that i am not sure of, i will buy some fuses and investigate further:rotfl:

Btw, If its taking awhile to pop the fuse Its most likely in the seat itself. Trying to remember how resistive heating works exactly.... Could be shorting between two points in the element.

well no the first time it took id say 10-15 secs for the fuse to pop, the second time it was basically instantly, and if this this seat warmer is broke on the inside i think its a lost...dont think im ready to fix something like that

If it pops instantly a third time then its mostlikely wiring. Do you own a mulitimeter? you can start trouble shooting the plugs if it pops fast the next time.

nah i gotta rent one, i wouldnt be surprised if i had a wiring problem under that seat, the wire is broke for the air bag under there i just twist them together but my girl adjust the seat messes it up sometimes

Dude if I was closer Id come teach you some electronics. Look up Basic Crimp splicing and the like. its very useful. Just pay $20 to get one at radio shack

lookd pretty simple indeed sir

I doubt GM has any "repair" instructions for the heated seat electronics. But... Knowing GM, the heated seat tech is probably the same between cars. Below is a link from the Bonneville guys on repairing a heated seat in the Bonnie:

Hope that helps a little.
