I have heated seats for both passenger and driver. The passenger side heater intermittently turns on when someone sits down in the seat. The button to turn the seat heater on is located to the bottom right of the passenger seat next to the adjustment lever so we thought perhaps we were accidentally hitting it upon entering or exiting the vehicle. However, upon carefully and strategically getting in and out we noticed it wasn't us hitting the button, that it in fact turns on when it wants to on its own. Dealership said they tried re-creating the issue, checked the electrical connection and everything seems to be fine. Well it's not fine and right now it's hot summer weather where I am from, and this is a real pain in the butt to have continue - not to mention the worry over possible fire risk etc from possible faulty wiring etc. Any ideas would be appreciated.
