    I have an 04 GTP with the heated leather seats. Last week on one of our real cold days I had them on and noticed a very faint burning smell. It goes away after about a minute or so and I dont smell it again. I could smell it 3 days in a row so I decided one morning I would not turn the seats on and sure enoph no smell.

    Is there anything I can check or maybe replace that could be burning out in the seats itself or is this normal? I dont notice it if the pass seat is on, just the drivers seat. The seat is very hot and feels great in the cold.

    Thanks!

    I think it's just your butt burning a bit each time.

    Does it smell like burning plastic or paper? There may be a goofy connection, or one of the heating coils is against something that it shouldn't.
