My Heated seats in my 2001 Buick Regal wouldn't turn off. I even disconnected the switch and the seat still didn't turn off. I love my heated seats, is there anyway I can fix this problem? Thanks.

Doesn't have a fuse for power seats . Use's a circuit breaker , 25 amp circuit breaker PWR SEAT located in rear fuse box . This rear fuse box is under the back seat . Did you look under the seat to see if something is blocking the seat tracks ? Does the vehicle have memory seats ?
You have probably burnt up the element as it is a 17 year old seat now. The elements are replaceable, but the labor is pretty spendy. To test it you will need a multimeter to check for continuity across the connectors that go to the seat heating elements and check for voltage at the car side of the connector. If you have 12v to one side of the connector and continuity to ground at the other side, and do not have continuity to the seat side between the connectors, you know it is a bad element.
Could be the relay but you need to unplug the relay and make a pin out check ground ,current ,and command. to see if relay is not stuck close circuit
hope it help
Think about it, you are creating a direct SHORT in your seat to create heat. So yes, it can happen. Luxury stuff breaks. Id still bust the balls of the dealer or maybe try talking to your car insurance. They might know how to get that fixed by buick instead of by you.
I have not used my heated seat all summer long, the heated seat did not work in winter when putting the switch on,so i opened the switch cleaned the contacts with (brake cleaner spray) and boom started to work.
If the buttons light up when you turn them on then the fuse is good.What usually happens is the element of the heater part burns or break and the heater will not work.This is a 2 part heater.One for the back and one for the bottom.If one goes neither of them will work.You have to ohm both to see which one is bad and replace it.Usually the bottom because it takes the most abuse.If the light does not come on then check the fuses and check connections under the seat.Good luck.
Check you connections both under the seat and at the switch. Many times corrosion will occur due to the amount of amperage that goes through the circuit.
most likely you will be dealing with broken seat element. locate harness connector for heating element under seat and ck for power with test lite. just experienced same problem in a 2000 park ave
