This was an interesting experiment. The lights on the switch were working (staying on and not going out after 1 minute) however, the seats (driver and passenger) were not getting warm. Checked fuse 32 again, it was blown. I replaced the fuse and tried the passenger seat while not in the seat (watching for the fuse to blow). Seat heater working and I sat in the seat to confirm. Fuse still good. I turned on the driver seat from the passenger side, walked around the car and sat in the driver seat. Fuse blew immediately upon me sitting in the seat. Replaced the fuse and retried the same procedure without sitting in the driver seat. Both seat heaters working. Gently sat in driver seat, heater still working in both seats. Tried bouncing in the driver seat however, no blown fuse, and both seats still working. I drove the car around with fuse box open to see if fuse blows while driving. Fuse blew during a sharp left hand turn. Replaced fuse and so far have been unable to recreate the failure even while doing the same maneuver several times. I am suspecting an intermittent short. Do you have any suggestions as to how to find it?
