Default Heated Seats....

My 2004 Chevy Suburban has developed an annoying gremlin...the heated seat function comes on by itself

It constantly keeps going on and off as I drive...while I appreciate the extra warmth on a frigid day, regular driving is pretty tough.

Thought perhaps some of you have seen this before...online info is a little confusing, but it appears to be not an uncommon problem.

It is only the driver's seat that has the issue.

Any guidance will be appreciated...

does it do it even when the switch is off? I would guess there is some type of voltage controller that controls the heat levels. just a guess.

Tom,my 2006 Silverado does the same thing,it's very common.ive researched this an no one I can find has a fix. I worked as a service advisor at a gm dealer,when I asked our drivability tech,he laughed and said good luck.He told me
they replaced every single piece related to the heated seats on a lot truck and they still had a mind of there own

Have had the same problem with my 2003 Yukon XL, on line info not helpful. I did replace the switch with a new one and it made no difference. However for the past two years it has worked fine.
The problem is covered in the Technical Service Bulletin:
HPFM (Hocus Pocus Fu%king Magic) as are most electrical issues.
