Not bumping the switch. Getting in and sitting compresses the seat and the flimsy plastic side panel moves down hitting the switch. See Dicktators fix. You need to remove some plastic above the switch to prevent the contact.:|
What I'm about to add here is (opposite) of the original posted problem. But I gotta believe I'm not the only one to experience the "hot seat" when it's already warm outside and you had no intentions of having the seat heater on.
If you keep your SSR in a garage space where there is limited space on the drivers side and you kinda gotta only partially open the drivers door to get in so you don't bump the outside of the door into something close in the garage.
This usually translates to your sliding sideways as you try to get into the drivers seat. Part of that action quite often has you sliding your butt in first.......followed by shifting your legs up and over the seat front.........During that process, you can/might.........with your leg/foot bump into the heat seater switch and kick it on without knowing it.
It has happened multiple times to me, just sayin.......................:wink2:
Happens to me 80% of the time. Don't mind it now that we're in cooler weather, but will do the fix before warm weather returns.:|

I thought the same thing, I'm 160 dripping wet and its still is enough to do it after about three or four entry exits. I even tested it getting in and out of the truck several times, each time it would press on the top of the switch a little until it finally turned it on Low.:|
In my case, after a few occurrences of an unwanted seat heater on......I observed my leg and foot movement as I would get in. Actually saw my foot catch the switch as I rotated my legs to get under the steering wheel.
I don't weigh all that much and do not think I'm compressing some "flimsy plastic panel" to activate it although I'll keep that in mind if it continues to happen.:surprise:

Trimmed the plastic above the switch and it has never happened since.
