Remote Start... - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I am not sure if I am having an issue or not...

I have my seat heaters set to 'on' for remote start. Well, the lights for the seat heaters are not on when I get in the car. To be honest... I have the heat cranked so the car is nice and toasty get in so I really can't tell if the seat heater is on. I do just hit the button to make sure it's on and life is great again.

Is this normal(for the light to not be on initially) or should I take it in to have them take a look at it?

Thanks...

yep, completely normal.. and yes, you need to turn the seats back on when you turn the key on...

THe lights do not come on when the seat is heating with remote start. The heated seats don't come on unless its cold enough. I've heard 37 degrees but I'm not sure. ANyway, when you turn the key the seats go off so you have to turn them back on.

Another thing that was mentioned in another thread about this, someone called GM to get more info. Apparently the seats will only warm up until they are 20 degrees warmer then what it is outside. If you believe they are not working, put your hand on the rear seats then feel the fronts seats as the rears are not heated.
