Front Seat Heater/cooler Problems of Chevrolet Silverado 2500

2003 silverado drivers seat heater turns on by itself after start up and becomes a dangerous distraction to keep turning it off while driving. After reading many forums, this is a widespread issue throughout the gm light duty truck/SUV line of vehicles. This issue has just recently started to happen with my truck. The only difference recently is that my truck is being operated in more damp conditions than usual instead of being parked in a dry garage. I have now disconnected the heating elements in the seat to stop from getting burned while driving. I have also checked for recalls by VIN and nothing was found.

Driver side seat heater turns on by itself. This is a dangerous situation because the driver is distracted while driving and must look down to find the off switch. Often, the seat heat comes back on again almost right away. . This situation seemed to occur in approx 2003 to 2007 models. Internet forums show that gm has service bulletins that instruct technicians to do a 'firmware fix". The only way for me to stop this condition was to locate and disconnect a small green connector under the seat that disables the seat heater. Changing the control module didn't remedy the situation. It happens while driving and is intermittent. Seems like gm has remedied the situation in newer models. Seems to me they should be recalling older models to incorporate some sort of "fix". The distraction of locating and turning off the heater is as bad as "driving while texting". I always have to pull over to get it shut off. Often, when I resume driving, the heater will come back on. Eventually it stops turning itself on.

During winter months, driver's side seat heater randomly activates and can not be shut off with button. Switches have been replaced no change. I have read multiple postings online regarding this matter and no resolution by dealers found.
