Leather heated seats stopped working
Hi, I am hoping someone can help with my heated seats. For two weeks, there was a clicking noise under the seat whenever I moved in the seat. The heated seats still worked but the clicking was annoying. Now, the clicking has stopped and the heat has also stopped working on both seats. If I wiggle the wires underneath, the clicking starts again. It appears that the clicking is coming from the black box that is mounted under the driver's seat. I am not sure if it is the wiring or the black box. BTW -what is the black box for? Any ideas on how I would go about troubleshooting the issue? Thanks.
Maybe a relay of some sort related to the heated seats. Do they work again after wiggling the harness? Maybe just a bad harness connection too.

Good point...I'd imagine that box has a relay or two in it that's acting up. See if there's a part number stamped on the outside and search for it to see what it is.
