What year truck do you have?Nice, that means my seats are ****** as well, my driver is always dropping to low within minutes.
I'm hoping. My dealer is willing to help. Theyou just need direction as well since there's no error codes or anything showing up as wrong on the computer
I'd like to find a seat from a 2017 or older and throw it in my truck to see what happens. What leads me to believe it's a computer programming issue is that another truck on their lot does the exact same thing. So, unless they both just have a bad passenger side sensor, it's gotta be a programming issue somewhere.This is the problem with a plug 'n play run diagnostics. If the computer can not tell them what is wrong, they have no one anymore that can diagnose it the old fashion way, which also means time which equals money.
I would say the passenger seat has a bad sensor that is turning off the heat too soon. Which now leads to where is the sensor, and how to change it, or swap it with the drivers side.
I just throw this out there for you to maybe chase down the issue yourself or find a shop with a guy who can do it as the dealer only is capable of using a computer to tell them.
WHAT?" Don't run your heated seats in the summer – ever"...…. LMAO
That's what i thought too, but in the photo above it says press once for HI. Maybe that's just for the heated seats and the vented seats are once for LOW and twice for HI?
Another guy in here has a rebel doing the same thing. Might be a particular seat style with the issue
Yep - my driver seat barely gets warm. Is your passenger side turning off after only a few minutes?I believe this is talking about me. They have replaced a couple things on mine cause neither of my seats get anywhere near warm and they cut off quickly too as some guys are saying in here. So far the dealer has replaced the elements inside the seat and the module that controls them. Still no better than where we started

Yes I was. I have an idea! Seems this is an issue particular to 2018 models, why not try components from a previous model year? No other members on here other than 2018 owners have been complaining about this, correct?I believe this is talking about me.

I had a 2017 and had no issues with it. I remember those seats actually got pretty warm. So it's definitely something they've changed with the 18s.Yes I was. I have an idea!

Not being an ass here, but read through this thread. I've answered that question a few times now. I've tried having someone sitting in the seat and having no one in the seat. Same results.Stupid question but are you sitting in the seat while it’s on. Like a passenger side air bag it might sense when weight is on it and if not it might turn off automatically.
