2013 F150 F150 FX4 - When I press the drivers heated seat indicator on the display it lights up but starts the seat cooling system. The passenger seat works properly. How do I fix this?

There are a few potential causes for this issue with the driver's heated seat in your 2013 F150 F150 FX4:
  1. Faulty seat control module: The seat control module is responsible for controlling the heating and cooling functions of the seat. If it is faulty, it may cause the seat to function improperly.
  2. Wiring issue: There may be a problem with the wiring that connects the seat control module to the seat heating and cooling elements.
  3. Faulty seat heating and cooling elements: The heating and cooling elements in the seat may be faulty and not functioning properly.
To fix this issue, you will need to diagnose and troubleshoot the problem. This may involve checking the wiring, testing the seat control module, and inspecting the seat heating and cooling elements. It is recommended to have a mechanic or dealership technician diagnose and fix the issue, as they will have the necessary tools and expertise to properly troubleshoot and repair the problem.

1998 Cadillac Seville STS 4.6L replaced 2 Blend door actuators, climate control they only move 1 way cold (A/C) no heat, also seems like none work properly won't change from vent to floor to defrost

Assuming the blend doors are not moving at all, can the blend doors be moved manually? If so, on the electrically controlled actuators, make sure they are in maximum or minimum position such that the electric positioning sensors are showing maximum or close to zero resistance before starting the car - this can be really important for the HVAC module to reset the position feedback of each properly.
You may also have a problem with the wiring connectors on the HVAC control module. They should be coded so they will only fit in the correct sockets, but the pins may not be seating properly - you can try checking the pins on each and then reinserting the connectors firmly.
If there are pneumatic actuators, check the vacuum at each -if none in all HVAC positions, there is probably a problem with the vacuum or HVAC control modules.
Bottom line - the most common problem is a bad or wrong HVAC control module.

My passenger side power seat, and seat heater stop working simultaneously on my Cadillac SRX 2011 model. The Passanger side air bag light also came on simultaneously. I checked the fuses and mini circuit...

Looking at a wiring diagram for the passenger seat an checking wiring colors mite help you figure it out . But then again maybe not . Electronic's involved here , Right door module .
Heated Seat Components
The heated seats consist of the following components:
• Left heated seat switch
• Right heated seat switch
• Memory seat module
• Left door module
• Right door module
• Left seat cushion heating element
• Left seat back heating element
• Left seat cushion temperature sensor
• Right seat cushion heating element
• Right seat back heating element
• Right seat cushion temperature sensor
Modes of Operation
The heated seat module (MSM) controls heated seat operation for both the driver and passenger seats. There are 2 modes of operation available for heated seats; both the seat cushion and seat back heat, or seat back only heat. When a heated seat temperature signal request is received, the MSM will activate both the seat cushion and seat back heating elements. When the heated seat BACK ONLY mode button is pressed once the MSM will deactivate the seat cushion heating element and leave the seat back heating element ON.

Heated Seat Switch/LED Indicators and System Operation
The left and right heated seats are controlled by separate heated seat switches located in the door panels. Ground is supplied to the heated seat switches through the switch low reference circuits from their respective door modules. The door modules also control the heated seat switch heat mode and temperature indicators. The memory seat module (MSM) controls the heated seat operation for both, the left and right heated seats.
The following describes the sequence of operation and how the MSM responds to each of the switch inputs.
• High Temperature--When the heated seat switch is pressed once, ground is applied through the switch contacts and the switch signal circuit to the door module indicating the high heat request. In response to this signal, the door module applies a low current voltage through the 3 temperature indicator control circuits illuminating all 3 LEDs indicating the high temperature mode. The module then sends a message via the GMLAN serial data line to the MSM indicating the heated seat request. The MSM then applies battery voltage through the heating element supply voltage circuit to the seat cushion and seat back heating elements. At the same time, it supplies a ground through the element low reference circuits to the seat heating elements.
• Medium Temperature--When the switch is pressed a second time, the MSM sets the temperature level to medium heat. The door module removes the voltage from the high temperature indicator leaving 2 LEDs illuminated indicating the medium temperature mode.
• Low Temperature--When the switch is pressed a third time, the MSM sets the temperature level to low heat. The door module removes the voltage from the medium temperature indicator leaving 1 LED illuminated indicating the low temperature mode.
• System OFF State--When the switch is pressed a fourth time, the MSM removes the battery voltage and grounds from the heating elements. The door module removes the voltage from the low temperature indicator, indicating the system OFF state.
• Back Only Mode-When the heated seat is ON and the BACK ONLY mode button is pressed, ground is applied through the switch contacts and the heated seat back only mode signal circuit to the door module. In response to this signal, the door module sends a GMLAN message to the MSM indicating the back only mode request. The MSM then opens the ground path to the seat cushion heater element, leaving the seat back heater active. The door module turns OFF the seat cushion/back mode indicator, then applies a low current voltage through the heated seat back only mode indicator control circuit illuminating the back only mode indicator.

Know how to test an what test is the key to finding the problem .Not guessing . The connector you found may or may not have anything to do with it . What color are the wires ? I have factory service repair manual . Does it have memory seats ?
The Memory Seat System consists of the following components:
• Memory seat module (MSM)
• Seat horizontal motor
• Seat front vertical motor
• Seat rear vertical motor
• Seat recline motor
• Lumbar horizontal motor
• Seat horizontal position sensor
• Seat front vertical position sensor
• Seat rear vertical position sensor
• Seat recline position sensor
• Lumbar horizontal positional sensor
• Seat adjuster switch
• Seat lumbar switch
• Memory seat switch
• PWR SEATS Circuit Breaker 30 A
• MEMORY RPA Fuse 7.5 A

2003 chevy trailblazer tach inop

The tachometer in your truck is controlled by the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) module, which recieves engine speed information from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) via the digital communications network in your truck.

There may be an engine control problem that is causing your engine to run rough and cause your tachometer to not operate as well. However, there is no way that the tachometer itself is going to make the engine run poorly. The tachometer has no fuse of its own that does not also affect several other electrical circuits in your truck. Looking for the fuse as a possible fix for your problem is totally useless.

What you need to do is to scan your onboard computer network, incluuding the PCM, BCM, IPC and the ABS modules to see where the problem is located. It may even be a communications network error. There is no way of knowing for sure without establishing communications with the network and interfacing with all of the control modules that use the tachometer signal to perform certain functions.

PLEASE NOTE: Generic OBD code readers CANNOT perform the functions that will be needed to diagnose and repair this problem.

Number fuse that powers windows

The windows are fused directly, they are operated by a computer module known as the "GEM", all the body electrical functions are controlled by this central module, it is fused by about 4 different fuses, but it is very unlikely a fuse is the problem as if it was you would have allot of things not working, windshield wipers for a start as well as the washers. This module can be tested with a special tool that prompts it to operate the many accessories it runs, It then returns fault codes for what is not functioning correctly. More than likely you have a defective GEM control module.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ILLUMINATION FAILED

not a problem i will say that if that fixed the issue you will need to most likely replace or clean the fuse panel very well.
