Driver Heated Seat Switch

The heated seat switches are located on the instrument panel, in the accessory switch bezel. The two, momentary rocker type switches provide a signal to the Heated Seat Relay through separate hard wired circuits. Each switch contains two light emitting diodes (LED), one for each High and Low setting to let the occupant know that the seat heater system is on.

The heated seat switches and their LED's cannot be repaired. If either switch is faulty or damaged the entire switch must be replaced.

There are three modes that can be selected with each of the heated seat switches: Off, Low, and High. When the top of the switch rocker is depressed, the low mode is selected and the low mode LED indicator illuminates. Depressing the top of the switch rocker a second time will turn the heated seat to Off. This same process is repeated for High heat setting. The heated seats will automatically return to the Off mode anytime the vehicle ignition switch is turned Off.

Both switches provide separate hard wire inputs to the Heated Seat Relay to indicate the selected mode. The Heated Seat Relay responds to the heated seat switch messages by controlling the output to the seat heater elements of the selected seat.
