Heated Seats

[Hummdinger03]

Requesting advice on a Hummer H2 03 I just purchased:

Both front heated seats don't work. Rears heat fine. When I select the heat switch on either side, the button light flashes once and goes out. I can hear the relays 'click', but no heat or sustained light indication. All fuses are in working order.

As well, all the driver seat functions work, except the front lap -'seat height' portion. (not sure if these problems are connected).

Thanks in advance for your reply.

I had the same problem and it turned out to be a fuse under the hood. It was one of the square fuse with the see true plastic cover. Not sure the #. Hope it sends you in the right direction. Oh! and mine wasn't burnt I just removed and reinstalled ??

Hope It works for you

Thanks for the reply Crazy Marty, I'll give it a try.

Cheers!

Update: Have taken the H2 into the shop. Turns out the problem is the actual heating element under the seat. All other systems/relays work.

New problem: GM parts department has informed me that the heated seats element for the H2 has been discontinued, and there are none available.

Any advice on hunting down a replacement element aftermarket? Haven't seen any on the internet. Does anyone know if I can use the element from a different vehicle?

Thank you,
