Hello all,
I have a 2002 chevy avalanche.
The passenger side seat heater has stopped working but the driver side works fine. The controller for the passenger side works fine. It comes on and stays on until I turn it off, but no heat. So unlike others who described a short that causes the controller to switch off, mine stays on.
I thought that the problem would be the standard broken wire in the pad, so I bought a new one from GM and replaced it. Unfortunately, the seat heater still doesn't work.
I then thought I should check the fuses. However, the only thing I found was a seat heater relay in the block below the steering column. I think I found it but rather than finding a fuse or a relay that I could replace, I found what looked like an electrical connector. Am I missing something? Is there a passenger side relay or fuse that I have missed. Based on my symptoms any suggestions on anything else I can try? I took pictures of the relay block but I can't figure out how to upload on here to show you what I was looking at.
I have run out of ideas. Thanks in advance.
Tim
