Reported cause
My BMW had the opposite problem,burned my ****,service recall.It was the element.
Leading evidence: 'element' (1 discussions report identifying this cause; no attributable repair resolution). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'element' (1 discussions; 1 report identifying it and 0 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Check relay and if' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Reported cause
I was told it was the regulator module or the switch.

Suggestion
Check the relay and if that's still good then it's the heating element itself.

One thing I as told was not to disconnect the power to the seat or you get into some code problems with the ECU.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

When i press the Button the Red light comes on for Half a Second and then turns off... I Cheaked the Fuse, its good... Passenger Side works fine
Any Idea's?
lol, my GF would say the same :P
geez i hope not...
I was up all night last night going thru Renntech and the culprit seems to be the Relay thats under the Seat... Hope fully this is covered under my CPO...
Check the relay and if that's still good then it's the heating element itself. I had exactly the same symptoms and it ended up being the heating element. It was a pain in the *** to replace but it wasn't too expensive. I think it was ~$100 for the element itself.
I have the same problem. I was told it was the regulator module or the switch. I also was told it was 90% the module under the seat. Bought one for $164 and it was not the module, same thing. After that, I did some more research and I was told to switch driver side and passenger side module and then if it was not the module, then to switch the toggle switches on the console to rule out the culprit. One thing I as told was not to disconnect the power to the seat or you get into some code problems with the ECU. Unbolt the seat and lay it over the other seat while working on that seat and visa versa, while not disconnecting the power source, may sure key is off. Hope this helps.
Switching the passenger side relay in is a good way to test things to confirm if it's the relay or not. If that doesn't work I'd just put a multimeter on the element connections and confirm whether or not you have continuity through the heating elements. No continuity=broken element.
I suppose the switch is a possibility but pretty low probabilitity in my mind.
Took it in to the Dealer today, The Seat Back Heating Element is Broken... Covered under CPO, Parts should be in Next Week
Also had the Oil Pressure Sensor Replaced under CPO... My OP Gauge Failed 3 times this Summer
Had the work done Today, was covered under CPO...
