Interesting feedback on level of seat heat. It only has on/off but changes the duty cycle to get to a set temp but it should stay on and maintain the temp set.
It likely monitors current as mentioned to detect a short or open and will disable itself if out of spec.
Test passenger seat as a control. Turn both on high and see if psg stays on.

235s have WAY more traction in snow because they push through do to higher psi. When wife had 235 W Winter Sport same time i had 255s, it was crazy to compare. I already had tremendous grip, her's put me to shame.
On wet slush i could full throttle launch at over 3/8 G and brake at over 3/4 G. Under normal brake/acceleration i couldn't tell there was slush on the ground that wasn't plowed yet.
Funny moniker ID-10T reminds me of a famous F14 pilot "gripe".
A gripe sheet was a report of any issues with the aircraft for maintenance to address.
Occasionally the only gripe the pilot might have is: "replace the R10 unit"
He was referring to the back seater aka the Radio Intercept Officer.
