I wanted to comment on the bad placement of the on/off control for the heated seats. First there is no indicator light on the dash anywhere to tell if on or off. The placement of the control on the side of the seat also is pretty bad. All other cars have the control where you can see it and adjust them with ease.

The placement does suck! My 02 Superduty is the same way so i'm use to it.

I agree. Since there are no memory positions, whenever my wife drives it she changes the seat and I have to change it back. Consequently we have both accidentally engaged the seat heater. A light on the dash might help, but our butts told us pretty fast.

Amen Brother!! How do you think I feel in FLA when that stupid thing is on? I never know it's on until it's too late and my A** is on fire. Just like the DRL's that's the next fuse I think will have to go.

I'll be happy to trade some real nice unheated seats for your heated seats.

We're not bitchin'. This is a serious discussion of design ergonomics.

who would of thought 20 years ago that one day people would be bitchin about heated seats...in their cars!! Good lord.
So true... I'll weigh in on the defense here - I've heard people complain about the seat coming on inadvertantly. That's never happened to me or the wifey. We both love the toggle switch because in the winter, you can just switch it to on and leave it there all winter. You don't have to turn the seats on EVERY time you get in the car all winter long... For the passenger seat, it only turns on when someone's in the seat (with seatbelt buckled), so there's no worries about it being on when no one's in the seat.

Yes, they are oddly placed, but i'm so use to it now that it doesn't bother me anymore. I just take my hand and make sure it's in the center position.
