Heated/Ventilated Seat controls blinking?
So I get in the car last night with my friend and since it was 25 degrees out we turned on the heated seats.. The drivers side functioned normally but the pass side controls were blinking and the heater/ventilation was not working no matter what setting we put on.. Anyone have any experience with this?

i had a different problem with my passenger one it would skip level one and go straight to level to but after playing with it going back and forth it finnally went to level one
think it has something to do with the door control mod,
P.S. i never got it looked at tho.

I just fixed mine.. Its strange.. I got into the car, turned the heater on and then i moved the seat up.. Once the seat started moving forward the heater started working again.. It looks like it was in memory mode or something..

Usually, the blinking and/or abnormal behavior comes on if there are too many electrical consumers running, or your battery is low. If you had a cold start, ran all four seats and the rear defrost, on a non optimally charged battery, one of these things'll give way. Drive a round for a few and all should be okay.
On that note, an excellent way to test if your batter is low, or getting warn, is to see how many major electrical consumers you can run: it'll save you the trouble of getting it tested. Run in incrimental order the four A/C seats, then the heaters, then the defrost, and finally the A/C (front and rear.) If all goes without issue, you have an excellent battery.

i like mysl-5 test! I just had to replace my battery and my heated seats lights blinked on too many occassions. Now everything works great! $100 bucks at autozone compared to $200+ at dealership
