03 Vue, 3.0L V6 AWD, blinkers, hazards and seat warmers!

[anthonyj]

Good morning, I apologize if I'm posting this in the wrong area.... Just yesterday I noticed my blinkers my hazards and my seat warmers are no longer working I checked the fuse for the blinkers and the hazards and they are good .....Sunday I pulled the factory radio out and tried putting a aftermarket one in.. With no success so I kept the factory 1 in there but I believe everything was still working after that any ideas I'm lost!

Can you interpret wiring diagrams? I'll post thumbnails for you to look over. Please repost, send PM or email for any clarification (left click on my screen name).

You've found there are separate fuses for turn and hazard lights. However, either fuse can independently power the single flasher assembly which is attached to back-side of hazard switch. Replacement switch/flashers for 02-05 Vue's are widely available. RockAuto.com is one web-based vendor.

Driver and passengers heated seats share two common fuses. One 20A fuse (under-hood fuse box) is direct to battery bus for seat heating elements. The 10A fuse (center IP fuse box) is switched by ignition and selects OFF, LOW and HIGH functions for the independent heated seat controllers.

Open wiring in the heater circuits is common. However, if yours were operating OK before you messed with radio and not good afterward you could check for some sort of power related wiring issue.
