My 2001 ram 2500 driver seat, When I hit the heated seat switch high or low it just flashes. it will flash untill the truck is shut down.

when mine did this, it was a faulty heating element in the cushion, but mine was fixed under warranty. I believe it was around 900 bucks... .

Do a search on heated seats and you will find detailed directions on how to fix it. Usually caused by a broken wire in the seat cushion that you can soldier

Hey Roller,



I had the same thing happen to me and yes it was a broken heating element in the seat cushion. The back was fine. I was lucky and found a complete set of NOS Tan Leather covers with the heating element on E-Bay for $300. 00. Dodge wanted $850 just to replace the one cushion. You can try looking there. I replaced all the covers myself in a day. It was a little tricky but if you can work with wrenches it isn't that bad. Beats the cost at Dodge by a long way. If you need help let me know and I will do what I can to explain how to get it done.
