f1ss Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Probably need a new fuse or whatever that powers the seat heater and memory positions.....to the dealership you go. Or try the search button this was just brought up recently. The search button is your best friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8hnpSS Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 sounds like the element is burnt out. my yukon does the same thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapinby Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 sounds like the element is burnt out. my yukon does the same thing Agreed. My seatback element was burned out and did the exact same thing (except my pass side worked great). I've read that it's usually the seatback. It's pretty easy to check. All you have to do is put the seat all the way forward, and at the bottom of the seatback there is a two plastic channels that are locked together. Jam a small screwdriver and seperate the channels. Once that's done, move the seat in a position that works for you and slide the cover up as much as you can. It has velcro on the inside of the cover. After you've done that, pull the element out. It will be taped in there, but it's not a big deal. You'll be able to tell if it's burned out. This is what my element looked like. I ordered this part to replace it. I think I found a $5 off coupon. http://www.partstrain.com/store/?N=0&src=search&Ntt=RB641106&= It was about a 15 minute repair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOBBY6.0 Posted December 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 I was thinking it might be like a module or somthing because of the seat memory problem has anyone had any problems with the seat module and if so where is it at?

IMPALASS_RIDER Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 im having this SAME problem! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARTYW Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 I was researching this problem online for my buddy in my town with the other SS. i keep hearing so many different possibilities, i dont know what to tell him? I have heard it is probably the element, and i have also heard it could be the module controller under the seat? He already replaced the switch in the door, but of course that did not fix anything? I hate it when it is hard to pin-point a cause of a problem. And I really hate changing parts for nothing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSR Mike Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 I was having the same kind of problems with my seat going to the wrong position, or not going to a position. then the Seat heater would go from On, then move down to low, then back up to HIGH. never would stay the same. then the seat started working BACKWARDS! I mean push forward on the button and it would go Back!. Dealer re-programmed the Body Controller. Everything works correctly, now...

Lefty Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 I had 3 "coils" replaced in 4 yrs on the driver's seat because they develop shorts or burn out. @scrapinby has the right approach and answer to this (most likely). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quickmedic1 Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 Mine is only not heating on the drivers side. When it did work just prior to the failure..mine got really hot on position 2 near my upper back. A couple of days later when the seat heater is turned on it only stays on for about 15 seconds the shuts off. If I continue to turn the heater on the seat still heats slightly. All other seat functions are working normally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
