So I just got a 2005 last Friday and as soon as my wife rides in it, she turns on the heated seats. When she turns it off, the button doesn’t spring back it just sticks in the off position. Anyone else experience this??? How do I fix it???
Don't let your wife in the car! It's probably a simple inexpensive fix, try a search of threads on the subject. Enjoy your new ride and welcome to the forum.

Yep, sounds like the switch is bad and will need to be replaced. To replace it you will need to remove the center console (the silver/gray piece). You can get the new part almost anywhere. Do a search on this forum, or YT, on how to remove and replace the console. It isn’t a bad job, just take your time and be careful...the plastic is tough, but can break. Good luck.
Also...you may want to add your location in your profile. Someone may be nearby that could help.

Easy enough to pull the button apart to clean and fix it (snap lock tabs holding it together), but at $15 for a new one, just faster to replace it instead.
Hell, with one sticking from someone spilling drinks/cleaning agents into it, may as well replace both when you have the center console out to get to them.
