    Hello all,

    I searched but have not found anything about this,

    I got a 2010 Prius with factory heated leather seats and problem is that they are always powered on, driver and passenger side, both of them.
    When I press switch under the bar it makes click sound but does not make any difference, the light on the buttons are steady ON no mater you press it, hold it or anything.

    I pulled 10A fuses, until I found better solution, can it be switch itself gone wrong or what can be wrong with it?

    Thanks for your input in advance,
    Regards,
    Bequa

    If you have a multimeter, you can test the switch contacts for continuity with the switch in both On and Off positions. It sounds like you have bad switches. It's odd that two switches are bad though.
