F250 Lariat and heated seats - Ford Forums

Question for the group. I have a 2006 F250 Lariat and it has heated seats,
which for the most part work great. But they don't automatically turn off
when the engines stopped. I mean they're off when the trucks not running but
as soon as I start the truck they're back on. Is this by design or is there
a problem?

I don't know, luckily I did not get them. But just wait until you discover
first hand, that the heated side mirrors dry more dirt onto the mirror than
they melt ice off. Ford really needs to put an on/off switch on these damn
things...

Dunno 'bout the 06, but my '02 shuts off automagically and won't come
back on until I mash the button again. If they happen to be on when I
shut down, they're off when I start back up again.

If they are like those in my Excursion, they are operated with a
push-on/push-off switch type switch, not a timed switch.
