“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. …”
