heated seats in my 2015 don't work - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I tried my heated seats when I bought my car in July, and they didn't work. I did some reading and saw it has to be below 50 degrees for them to come on. It has been 35 the last few mornings and they still don't work. I checked the fuse and it is good. Is there a menu item somewhere I have to flip on for them to work? It's a 2LT /RS car.

Thanks,
Tim

Nothing in GM's service information says ambient temp must be below any certain temperature. Where did you get this information? I wouldn't bother trying to diagnose or fix, take it to the dealer and let them replace whatever is wrong under warranty.

Yeah, that's bs about the outside temp, if you want heat you should get heat with the press of the button no matter if it's 90 out

Yup... mine worked in 90* weather in my 15... used it to help my lower back pain on a road trip. Definitely take to dealer to fix if not working... on the flip side... how long did you let them stay on for? It usually takes a few minutes or so for them to heat up - at least in mine... but once they're heated... they are nice and toasty.
