R2D2's first maintance trip

Well, of all things to go wrong first, especially in Texas, my seat warmer on the driver's side stopped working. After a long day, my sore back wanted a bit of comfort and the switch kept turning off. So at 7am CST, I will be pulling into SCDallas to get it checked out and hopefully go home with it.

Perhaps it overheated??????? (The very concept of actually using a seat heater in Texas hurts my head)

I would wait a few weeks to give it a good test. Might need something else minor looked at. Make a list. Unless you want to make the drive

I'd be really interested in what they say is wrong - my passenger side doesn't work. But for me it's hours to the dealer so I'm hoping (for both our sakes) it's an easy fix. - sheureka

...thought of that too BB..but ...fuse 20, 10A, also protects gear selector lever control unit, which will probably create havoc...also audio, air conditioning, mirror adjustment and washer pump are on #20....seems like a lot for just a 10A fuse...

Its not a far drive for me, and they are taking me to work afterwords. Im going in at 7am and hope to be at work by 8am. Its about 10 min from my work, 15-20 or so from home (with no traffic).

If they will tell me, I will share. The passenger works fine tho! Honestly, Im thinking loose wire, but Im not going to make it worse by testing that theory.
