I never took it to the dealer.  I'm out of warranty at 80k and 4yrs.  Not worried about it, it can't break again if it's still broken.

OK So I have the same problem. 2014 silverado ltz. lights come on for heated seats, no heat on driver or passenger side. The AC part of the seat works perfectly. But why would both elements go out at the same time when the passenger side is NEVER used? This seems to be a common problem with these trucks.

It is common on the 14 and 15's

Had both of my bottom and back elements replaced on driver and passenger seats.

Poor design is the culprit.

No real reason to fix out of warranty.

They will keep failing :(

Mine both broke at the same time before it had 5000, never bothered to take it in as I read it would just be a continuous problem. Almost at 60k now and I still haven’t got them fixed but the ac works great lol. Figured I’d fix the heating element whenever I upgrade to real leather. I’ve also wondered if it would be possible to just get seats from a 16+ and slap em in as they seemed to have corrected the issue with those years, unless I’m wrong?

16 and up were redesigned from my understanding.

Those of us who own a '14 or 15' just have to deal with it.

If you want heated seats that work in the '14 or '15 K2, buy these....   :thumbs:

I used my heated seats on my 2015 3500 Chevy just 4 times, pressed the button, heard a click saw the light for the seat flash for a second. And they haven't worked since. The truck was 3 years and 3 months old with less than 10,000 miles on it. Both seats not working. I can't find a fuse marked for the seats. Anyone have any ideas? I am thinking it's a relay, because both elements shouldn't go out at the same time.

      The Peckish Synapse

      If it has a stick I can have fun with it. When my wife first got her Acura years ago I used to tease her about it. I was only interested in muscle cars. They’re gone now. So once a month I drive the Acura. Every once in a while I’ll take it to Redline. But just normal driving on some twisty back roads usually does the trick.

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By contrabombarde · Posted

      I went through again with a test light and everything checked out.    I suppose it could be the MAF itself but I've tried 3 different sensors, 2 of which were in running vehicles previously (the one in this truck, and the one in the donor truck), as well as a new one I picked up from NAPA. I would just be surprised if all 3 were bad.   EDIT/UPDATE: I swapped in the MAP sensor that was originally with the 2010 PCM, that made the code for map sensor voltage high Go away, and the map sensor seems to read normal with key on engine off (14psi or so), but it still doesn't run and does the same thing as before.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By Atlas · Posted

      In addition to a cell or wifi connection, the infotainment needs to be enabled to download software updates. That's a toggle within the system settings.   But...if the truck was prevented from receiving updates in a past life, missing a bunch of updates may mean it won't go back and download all of those because they're not available or the system is too far out of date.   If a formal recall depends on a software update, the recall for that truck remains in an open status until it's applied. The dealer would need to apply the software update in that instance.   Most updates downloaded and applied via the infotainment aren't recalls/safety recalls, they're enhancements and usability fixes which aren't critical.

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      By Vu1can · Posted

      Recently I've been getting a message, "New Brake Pads Detected. Reset Brake Pad Life?", But I haven't had the pads replaced and the truck only has 28,000 miles. The Brake Pad Life shows Front 64% and Rear 79%. I select NO to resetting the brake pad life and the message goes away but comes back at the nest restart.   I stopped by the dealer and was told that it sounds like a software glitch that would require reprogramming. Even though I have the extended warranty, they tell me that reprogramming is not covered unless a module was actually bad and needed to be replaced. Simply reprogramming is not covered. So, they want $200.00 just to diagnose the problem. If it turns out no bad module, another charge on top of that to do the reprogramming. If the cause was an actual bad module, everything would be covered under the warranty.   Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem. Should this issue be covered under the warranty?   Thanks

      NHT is diesel only, correct.     The GVWRs for NHT on 3/4 ton bring them to the same numbers as many of the 2WD 1 tons.  A crew 4x4 standard 3/4 with NHT is 11,750lbs, a 1 ton same cab/box/4x4 is 12,100lbs.     Hubs and hub bearings are the same for 11.5" and 12" axles.  Housing, diff carrier and ring/pinion are larger for the 12".   All gas use the 11.5" axle, 3/4, 1 ton and 1 ton DRW.
