The driver's seat heat turns on by itself. I can turn it off but it soon turns back on. This started recently, but is getting progressively worse. Only driver seat is not working right.

On/Off is indicated by heat at my back and lights on driver's door seat heat controls/indicators.

If repair will be expensive ($200.00) I would prefer to disconnect it, but I do not know how.

first thing is it will have to scanned for codes to see if anything is wrong with it. It may need a re-calibration to fix it. until that is done you cannot put a money figure on it. you would have to remove door panel and disconnect the switch then neither seat will work.
