Hello all.
So this morning I started up my '06 2500HD, got in, and noticed that my heated seats lights (Drivers side only, to show power on / heat level) were lit up. Thought that was strange, but thought perhaps I had left them on when I exited the truck last night. I then turned them off, and started driving down the road. Not but a few seconds passed and I noticed the heated seat kicked itself back on, but now it was fluctuating between Hi, Med, Low, then back to Med, Low, etc. I kept manually turning it off, but it kept turning back on, and fluctuating between heat settings (Hi/Med/Low).
So I pulled off the road took a quick video (see below) and turned off the truck. Let it sit a second, fired it back up, and still same issue. I got back on the road and drove about 15mins then got off the freeway to get some fuel. Turned it off obviously to fuel up (tank was empty) which took I dunno 8-10mins in all I'm guessing, got back in fired it up and no more issues.
I made one more quick stop where it was turned off/on, fired it back up and then the rest of the way into work, which was about a 20 more minute drive. Again no more issues.
Upon getting into the parking lot at work, I decided to manually try turning the heated seat on thinking maybe it burned itself out while it was messing up this morning, but it worked fine, stayed on the setting I put it to, and turned off and stayed off when I told it to (at least for the minute or so I left it before turning off truck and going into work).
So now I'm kind of stumped. My guess is that this may all be a cause of me remotely starting my truck this morning with my after market remote start system (Avital). Or perhaps my control module is on the fritz?
Thoughts/Advice/Opinions?? Thanks!!
