Heated seat on/off button

Has anyone else inadvertantly activated their heated seat while getting into their truck? I have a '06 F-250 Lariet package with the leather seats and a couple of times I've hit the button and "fried" my backside, especially in the summer! I would have thought Ford would have put a toggle type switch in that position with the off position towards the front or moved the button location behind the seat adjustment *****.

Yea, I know, operator error.

Happens to me all the time. It should be on the switch plate on the door. On my crown vic they were smart enough to put the power seat controls on the door so you don't have to cram your hand between the door and the seat.

I remember the first time I did that very well. It was a great learning experience and it few and far between now.

Happened a couple of times in my 05 (just like in FL it sucks doing that here in AZ). The heated seat switch is on the ATC in the 08 (Ford finally figured it out!!!)
