hi there, i have a 04 sierra that i just bought and it's a great truck. everything is in great shape but, the seat warmers aren't working. i can hear a clicking noise coming from under the seats when i push the button and sometimes they do come on for a few seconds. it's both sides that do this identically. i've had them actually stay on for about 45 seconds once and i just kept pushing the button to turn it back on and the back of my seat eventually warmed up. i live in colorado and it would be nice if i could turn them on to warm up my seats before i go out and leave in the mornings. i don't think it's the fuse because they still work barely. if ti was the fuse i would think they wouldn't work at all. it doesn't seem like it is the switch because i can't imagine both of them going out the same exact way. new switches are about 150 buck each and i don't even want to imagine how much the actual heater under the seat would cost if anyone has had this experience and can give me any advice that would be really cool.

thanks, chris freeman
