The front heated/cooled seats were working intermittently, while driving, since January 2017. Two weeks ago they stopped altogether. Upon investigation I had to remove the passenger seat in order to inspect the control module. I found two wires burned and the large plug stuck in the control module pin area. I'm waiting on some parts before I can proceed with the possible repair. There should be an immediate recall to have gm repair this problem at no cost to the consumer. It is definitely a fire hazard. The number on the control module is 100-1325-f. There may be another specific number but I have been unable to find on the internet.

While driving the vehicle down the road with the heated seat (drivers side) on, I began to notice a burning smell and smoke coming from the passenger seat area. Stopped the vehicle to inspect to find a smoldering wiring harness and module, there was a small flame. The flame was extinguished. The vehicle was then turned off and brought to a gm dealership that diagnosed it as having a bad connector. Dealership also stated that this is a common issue on these cars. In order to fix this and make it safe it required the module under the passenger seat and the connector to be replaced. Was informed that the new module is an improved design that shouldn't have the same issue. All service was performed and the vehicle and accessories is now functioning as they should.

The plug that connects to the heat/cool module has now melted on the yellow/red wire which is about a 10ga wire. I have read many forums and online articles about gm having this problem on many other gm vehicles. This is a huge problem which can result in a fire since the wire gets hot it can possibly ignite the padding underneath the seat. I should not have to fix this myself it should be repaired by the dealer. I currently have about 47k miles on my Cadillac and the heat and cool seats no longer work unless I make the repairs.

The heated/cooled seats stopped working. Later they started working again. This cycle of working/not working continued for a few months then they quit completely. After searching online for solutions, I found that the Dts, Buick lucerne, and a few other gm vehicles have this same problem. The wiring connector under the passenger seat overheats and melts causing a poor connection resulting in the heat/cool settings to malfunction and not work. This is a fire hazard! gm is charging people around $1000 to diagnose and repair the problem when it's their own faulty engineering. There should be a safety recall on all the vehicles with this particular type of climate controlled heated/cooled seats and should be no charge for the repair. If I could send pictures I would let you see the melted and burned wiring connector in my car.
