Subywyo Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I recently had my transmission and gas tank replaced due to a collision. I have a 2013 subaru impreza sport Now the heated seats won't shut off. Could that be related? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbhrps Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Subywyo, Possibly, since they have to take part of the console apart to remove the tranny shift mechanism when they removed the tranny, they most likely messed up the wiring for the seat heater switch, or the switch has broken in the on position. Take it back to whoever did the tranny and explain the situation. It should be an easy fix taking less than an hour to do. Good Luck!

Subywyo Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 Thanks. I'll do that. It was done at the dealership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bushwick Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 It's probably a broken switch. Could also be fluid (coffee, pop, etc.) spilled over it, and it's sticking. Pop is horrible as it'll never evaporate and remains tacky for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster2 Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 It's probably a broken switch. Could also be fluid (coffee, pop, etc.) spilled over it, and it's sticking. Pop is horrible as it'll never evaporate and remains tacky for years. The "tacky" is sugar. It will not evaporate ever, just remain as a sticky residue.

idosubaru Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 pull the fuse as a temporary solution. the switch that turns the heated seats on - is it a lighted switch - and is that light on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bushwick Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 The "tacky" is sugar. It will not evaporate ever, just remain as a sticky residue. There isn't sugar in most pops anymore. Coke, Sprite, Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, Mountain Dew, etc. DO offer a 12 oz bottle at most gas stations, and those are sold with real sugar. Have to look at the ingredient label to be sure. They all pretty much taste like they did 30+ years ago. Pretty amazing how much the high fructose corn syrup alters the original flavors (almost always for the worse).
