If I wasn't doing HW, I would look it up just to get that out of the way..

In my PDF manual:

T/A Switch, O/D Cancel Switch, Autolamp
Sensor, Heated Seat Modules

If you don't turn the heated seats on does it still pop? I'm thinking that the seats may have not enough resistance which is causing excess current to flow.. I think that is highly unlikely but I don't see anything else.. Maybe Joe will chime in..

Maybe the modules for the seats are bad because they usually catch when the element in the seat is open and kick the circuit off (you push the light, it comes on and goes off shortly after)..

well if i try putting in a fuse as soon as i turn the key it blows it only stayed on the one time i put the higher fuse in and as i remember that i had the heated seats on when it blew the higher fuse, but when i had the higher fuse in the traction control went from staying on to flashing and stayed flashing until it blew so if it is soething to do with the heated seat then why would that light go from on to flashing?
