Chevrolet's Silverado trucks can be supplied with heated seats as part of an optional comfort package. Other seat options can include power operated seats; power lumbar; and memory seats, coupled with memory mirrors and pedals. Problems with the heated seats in a 2006 Chevy Silverado can be related to them not coming on, not staying on and the incorrect temperature. You can rectify these kinds of problems by following some troubleshooting.
Press the correct control if the seat isn't heating properly. The seatback on its own, and the seat and seatback together can be controlled separately. The controls are located on the driver and passenger doors. Press the heated seatback switch, which is the control with the heat waves icon superimposed on a seatback icon, for seatback heating on its own. Press the other control---which has an icon of heat waves passing through both the seat back and the seat---to turn both seat and seatback heating on together.
Press the button multiple times if the temperature is uncomfortable. Each press toggles through the settings which can be "Off," "High," "Medium" and "Low." The lights show the level selected with one light for low, two for medium and so on.
Restart the engine and press the heated seat buttons again if the engine is turned off and the seats become cold. The seats will only heat while the ignition is on. They will be turned off if you turn the ignition off.
