Heated seats shutting off

[ilxciteu]

I have a 2003 Tahoe and when I turn on the heated seats they stay on for a minute then shut right back off. Any thoughts on what could be causing this and where I should check first????

If equiped with one, check the circuit breaker and the amp draw from the seats. If only one is turned on will it stay on?

Acutally if the drivers side is on and you turn on the passenger side they both shut off and vice versa.

I have an 04 with very similar results....although sometimes it actually works and stays on long enough to get warm. Also when I press the button...I here a small faint click from under the dash??? is this normal? Relay under there somewhere? Any info on troubleshooting this problem would be appreciated.

One relay click when they are turned on is normal.

A factory repair manual or a All data online repair info sub. is you best repair and trouble shooting info.

The free AZ web site has some All data repair info.
But do not know if they get into heated seats.
