Has anyone else seen an issue with the lighted heated seat switch? The switch on the passenger door flickers on and off while you drive the car. The heated seat works fine, just the light. Anyone have a suggestion before taking it to the dealer?

Yep. This is a very common issue with our cars as well as GM's.

Take it to the Dealer, and they will replace the switch. Ask me how I know.....

Twice!

Got warranty?

Both sides of mine went out, about a month apart.

Mine went about a year and a half ago, coincidentally right after my Trilogy install. Freaked me out. Thought I did something to the electrical system. The dealer replaced it under warranty w/no problem. Good luck.

My passenger side flickers on and off but still works. The driver's side I have to really push on the single setting (left side) to get it to work. I have an extended warranty so I will get them replaced before the warranty ends.

Thanks to all. Seems our brain trust at Detroit might want to find a new source for switches.
