Now that it is starting to get a little cold at night I have been using my heated seats. I'm not sure if the passenger side does the same because the women isn't in the truck late when I leave work. It will work good for the first 5 or 10 minutes and then shut off on me. I click it and it will go on for maybe 5 secs and then off. Then if I do it alot it will just turn on for a 1 sec. If I leave it for a few, it will go on for a few minutes then back off. I can hear a relay of some sort clicking on and off as well when the lights shut off. Seems to me something is heating up maybe. Any help would be great. Its on my 04 Silvy. Thanks

Sounds like a bad relay. I would replace it and see if that fixes the problem.

 

BTW - where do you live that you are using your heated seats in Aug?

 

Where is the relay?

 

I live in Western Mass. It got down in the low 40s here. Chilly enough when you only have on a dress shirt.

There are a lot of them located throughout the vehicle (my guess would be near the fuse box; listen for clicking noise when cycling the switch). Stop by an AutoZone type store parts store and ask them for the part and they can show you a wiring diagram on the computer. If not, you may need to buy a repair manual (or just look at one in the store or see if your local library has one).

 

Hope this helps and good luck.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’m doing an experiment on a vehicle I don’t have much money in. I’m going by the premise that after they last 100K miles they were no mechanical problems with assembly. Or defects with the parts. With oil changes by the minder for the first 127K miles when I acquired it. I quickly went through low mileage oil changes then settled on 5k oil changes with close to 170K miles on the vehicle currently. I did have the option to turn off the cylinder deactivation. I didn’t on this vehicle because in ECONOMY mode at least half the time. It should be a no brainer frequent oil changes are the key. The manufacturer gets away with the long oil changes with its severe service  maintenance. Just ask them what is normal.

      Hot air constantly blowing through floor vents, drivers side only?

      By baglie1 · Posted

      Even set to "recirculated", the air pushes out and is hot. I have noticed that sometime it doesn't want to switch between recirculated/vented air. Say it is set to Circulated Air and I want to switch to Vented, when I click the Vented button, it just quickly lights up/clicks and immediatly switches back to Circulated. It's done this a few times now. So maybe it is an actuator getting stuck? But then, that doesn't explain the hot air when everything is off does it?

      Gas Prices

      I wonder what the price is out at the coast, Big Sur or other out of the way locations as I bet they are charging quite a premium over the in land pumps.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Were you looking at the HD trucks on the GM website or the half tons as that makes all the difference. As far as I know there are only two options for the HD trucks and that is the standard 2 speed transfer case or the 2 speed transfer case that has the added 4 high auto feature and they put that transfer case by default into the LTZ and High Country although its optional in the LT and not sure if its available in the work trucks.    The half tons, that is where its been a total mess in my estimation for a few years now with most trucks below the top trim having the single speed transfer case as standard but with the option of having the two speed such as one would get by choosing the Z71 package, however then not being able to get the two speed transfer case with the towing package unless it was a higher trim truck AND had the 6.2 gas so one could combine the towing package gearing diffs with the two speed transfer case. Having said that if its a trail boss package then it gets the two speed transfer case but not necessarily able to get the tow package as it would depend on trim level and engine chosen. Believe me, people have bought the GM half tons assuming "of course it will have a two speed transfer case" only to find out after when they really pay attention to what they now own .... crap, there is NO low range !.    I don't believe Ford or Ram have gone that way yet with their half tons but like I say its been a few years now that GM has done this with the half tons.
