The drivers seat warmer comes on as soon as the vehicle is started. There is a faint burning electrical smell. It will automatically turn off after a while. I have played with the switch, but this doesn't seem to do anything. Of course its the weekend and can't go to dealer

Any ideas?

Try completely removing the switch from the circuit and see if the seat still activates. It could be the relay for the circuit.

Can you try swapping with the passenger switch?
