hey guys every time i crank my truck my heated seats come on by themselves! It all started with my drivers side, it quit working, then they both started working by themselves, i have no control over them at all. They have a mind of their own. any ideas. also the drivers side top and bottom light will flash and the pass. side flashes on the top. I have done a search and see that there is a possibility of a short or break in the circuit, but nothing comes up about them coming on by themselves. any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is stolen from a thread below called "Heated Seats Flashing" = https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...d.php?t=233922

All data states the following...

Heated Seat Shorted Element - High & Low Flashing

Heated Seat Element Open - High Flashing - Low Off

Heated Seat Sensor Value Out Of Range - High Off - Low On

I attached the wiring diagrams for drivers/pass to help you out.
