Passenger Seat Control from the Driver's Door Panel
I have the heated/ventilated/multi massage seats. On the driver’s door panel, when I press the button to control the passenger seat, and I turn on the heat or ventilation, the lights on those buttons don’t light up anymore like they used to. The heat/ventilation features do work however, even though the lights are off.

Has anyone run across this?

Probably seeing if other forum members are having the same issue, I thought that the forum was for that.

Interesting. Maybe the buttons lit up when I had the driver seat heat/vent on. I'll have to check that. Thanks.

I just checked mine. When controlling the passenger side seat heating, the light on the passenger side does light up (using driver side control).

On mine the passenger side lights up but I need to wait a minute or two before turning my side on. At first, mine will continue to adjust the passenger side one step cooler each time I select my control.

The other day I noticed that when I turn on the passenger side seat heaters, both sides of the center arm rests turn on. Does this happen for others? I only happened to notice this because I turned on the passenger seat heater to keep my takeout food sitting in the passenger seat warm on the drive home. 🤣
