Headlight keeps burning out. It has been replaced 5 times also driver seat heating works for 1 min and turns off.
When I try to use my seat warmer on both the passenger and driver side it stays on for a few seconds and then turns off. The driver side has been like this for a couple of years. The passenger side just started about a month ago. My seat warmers come on but never get warm and they cut off after only a few seconds.
Obd warning b0074, b0081 - pps module faulty - cannot detect passenger weight in car, therefore disabled the passenger airbag. After some research, I am seeing multiple gm issues on the same error, obd b0081, faulty pps sensor on comaros and volts.
I have had the driver's side hid headlight ballast replaced 3 times in 9 months due to moisture in the headlight assembly.
