So I noticed a little issue with my 2020 Sonata Limited today. We got some unusual weather today (couple inches of snow and single digit temps). My roommates and I went out to get our grocery order. I had to brush snow off the car and got pretty chilled, so I turned on my heated seat. I come to find out that the light will turn on in the console for a couple seconds and turn back off. The heated seat won't come on at all, and it disables heating and cooling for my seat until the car is restarted. The passenger seat heating works fine as well as the ventilation, and my seat didn't affect its functionality.
I'm not gonna make a big deal about this because I'm a warm person in general, and I rarely use heat in my car. This type of weather is also very uncharacteristic of the area where I live. 2 days ago we had high 70's and I had the sunroof open and the A/C on, and we'll be back in the high 70's by Friday. So I don't really have a need for the heated seats, today was just a freakishly cold day.
My guess is a loose connector under the seat, and I've read similar things after a web search. Just wondering if anyone's experienced an issue like this on their Sonata or any car in general? I'm not going to take it to the dealership because I had a very unpleasant experience purchasing the car and will not return there other than to retrieve my license plate. So if it's something I can fix then I'll take a crack at it. If not, no big deal. I should also mention that all other HVAC functions work fine in the car including the ventilation for the driver's seat.
