Sorry yes whichever one you push flashes and does that for about a minute before it stops.

High light flashing means an open heater element in that particular seat. Low light flashing means Heated Seat Sensor Value out of range. Regardless, for both codes, the heated seat elements have to be replaced on the affected seat. The replacement elements from Chrysler just stick over the old elements, the wires to the dead elements are simply cut off. The seat may have to be removed to install the elements, because the seat covers have to be removed or partially removed.

On my 2002 Durango when a door is open my interior light has started flashing instead of just staying on. If all doors shut and you turn on the interior light it stays on as normal. Any thoughts on what may be causing this?

Any help appreciated.:confused:

Does it do it on any specific door or doors??? Does it do it with the driver's door, or with one of the other three doors, or all 4??? Does it do it with just the liftgate open??? The dome lights have power to them from a fuse all the time, but the Central Timer Module (Body Computer) turns them on and off by completing a circuit, based on door ajar switch state. Ergo, you open a door, the ajar switch for that door grounds a circuit to the BCM, and the BCM grounds the driver circuit of the dome lights, which turns them on.

Turning them on manually is a similar function, except the BCM is turning the lights on based on the dimmer switch position instead of the ajar switch state. Let me know what you have.
