2 Front Seat Heater/cooler problem

Failure Date: 06/29/2003

(1) na; (2) seat heater control switch location. Easy/often inadvertant activation when operating window or mirror controls. Activation is not noticed because the indicator lights do not face the driver. The first indication is when your butt starts to fry. Attempts to deactivate the heater is dangerous because the indicator lights do not face the driver so you have to divert your attention from the road to operate the heater. I have run off the road several times trying to turn off the heater while driving. Also, the seat heater gets too hot and presents a risk of burn injuiry or fire. (3) todate nothing.
