That's a good point.  The original post doesn't mention rapid clicking with
a frequency faster than the turn signal click.  That's the problem with my
car and was not necessarily the question being asked.  (D'OH!!)  I'm pretty
sure this rapid clicking my seat heater relays have isn't the normal
thermostatic control of the heating element, though.

So Cherly or James, is the clicking rapid or only occaisional, say once
every several minutes or so??  If the latter, the seat heater is fine.  Does
that sound wrong to anyone??
