Has anyone had problems with their heated seats?

It was a little chilly this morning (around 60 deg F). I go to push the heated seat button. All three green lights illuminate, then go off. The seats never got warm.

Is there a certain temperature threshold that the heated seats will operate under?

Thanks,
Daniel

I think they should turn on when you press the button no matter what the temperature is.

They work at any temperature - I know because I like to bug my friends by turning their seat heater on when they aren't looking on a hot day. That's how I roll.

Yea, that doesn't sound right. One point though..when we had our 01 it seemed like the heater used to take a long time to heat the seat.

I figured out my problem. Someone removed fuse #53 (25A)

The heated seats worked fine early this year. I did take the X to an indy mechanic in March to have the ECM reflashed. I'm not saying they did it, but those are the only people who have been messing with the X.
