Heated Seats not working - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

2nd day in a row, my heated seats button won't let me turn them on and the Ipod took 3 tries before it linked
is anyone getting this problem with the heated seats?

Our passenger heated seat works intermittently. Most of the time you press the button and it lights up for about a second and then shuts off. Sometimes it works fine. We're just living with it until we have to have the car in for service for something else. It seems like a wiring issue, but jiggling the wires under the seat doesn't make any difference. Sometimes sliding the seat back and forth makes it work.

I have the same problem with my passenger seat on the SS. It comes on for about a minute then shuts off. I took it in on a weekend and the dealer said yep it's broke ...LOL... I have to take it back during the week so they can contact the GM Tech Support. My 2LT works great without any issues, good thing because that's the wife's car ...

Ok. Now I'm subscribing to this thread. Please report back on what they find and what it takes to repair.

Thanks!

About a month ago, driver side seat kicks off after about 30-45 seconds....never gets warm. Doesn't matter what setting...two lights or one. Passenger side works like a champ. Taking the beast in next week while I'm out of town to get that looked at along with my rice krispy noise making glove box...been like that since day one. I know there is a TSB for that. Plus, seaping a little oil....appears to be from the oil cooler....another TSB for that too.

Even with these little issues, this car has been pure evil pleasure.

Sounds like a warranty issue. My works every time, no complaints.

Have not tried my heated seats, mine is in my garage for the winter.

I'd have it looked at. If anything my planet warmers work TO good in my SS!

geminidreams · 03-07-2010, 08:00 AM

GreyGhost · 03-07-2010, 08:27 AM

No problem with my 2LT, my son uses them every time we go somewhere.

Can you connect the ipod touch 2g using bluetooth?

Bump to see if SlingShot or Grinder19 made it into the shop this week. I'm curious to know what the fix is for the heated seat issue.

JOHNREX · 03-10-2010, 10:10 PM
