First thing to check is connections/fuse (driver seat 2). If this has heated/cooled seats, check the larger connector at the seat climate module under the front of the passenger seat. Usually the ground(large black) or power(rd/wht) shows signs of heat damage and poor connection. Here are the heated seat wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works if the fuses and connection are good 9 times out of 10 its the seat control module. Here and instruction on how to change and program the module.

Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.

Cheers

Heated seats won't work. I checked for voltage at the fuse and I have none. Wonder what could be causing that?

Disconnect Black 2-pin seat belt switch connector, located under right front seat. Connect DVOM between the black 2-pin seat belt switch terminals. Unbuckle right front seat belt. If continuity exists then let me know for further testing steps. If continuity does not exist, the right front seat belt switch needs replacing.

Chances are the switch is going bad. When it stops working, check to see if there is still a power supply to the switch. If there is, check for power out to the seat.

The heated seat on the driver side in our 2003 Escalade won't stay on, the fuse that it is tied to according to the owners manual looks good (it also the circuit for the ignition).

2005 escalade d/s front heated seat turns on for about 10 seconds than turns off p/s works fine until you turn on d/s side than turns off also.

When you turn on the drivers side heated seat it stays on for about 10 seconds. The passenger side works fine. But with the passenger side on if you turn on the drivers side it will turn off both seats.

Wife said seat got real hot one day the next time she went to use the heated seat this problem began.

Sounds like the seat heater shorted out. Check it for shorts.

If I don't turn on the drivers side, the passengers side stays on ok, but when I turn on the drivers side, after a few seconds, they both shut off.
