#61 of 67 Re: Repairing Heated Seats [tony191974] by obyone Oct 21, 2009 (11:50 am)
Replying to: tony191974 (Oct 21, 2009 3:56 am) The power for the heated seats comes directly from the battery via a 30 amp fuse located under the hood. I would agree that this is not the problem and it's either the heat element or connector.   There is an 18 step diagnostic to trouble shoot this problem. If you plan to work on this truck on your own I would suggest buying one of the following manuals:   Helm factory manual   Ebay   http://www.alldatadiy.com   I would recommend either of the first two while alldatadiy has most of the factory info online but not as comprehensive as the first two.

Replying to: obyone (Oct 21, 2009 11:50 am) Thank you for the help. I was looking for a better manual than Haynes. They really stink. Other than torque specs, they're not good for much else.   By the way your first two links are the same. Can you repost which ever option is missing, please.   Thank you.

when i get up to about 60 mph i start getting a vibration when i let off the gas it stops, when a touch back on the gas it starts again. the drive shaft is all tight thought it might be a universal going bad. it seems to be getting worse. seems to only do it in overdrive anybody got any thoughts on this?
