Press switch, it flashes red then off - no heat. Passenger side works normal. What to look for? Barry

Coverage and how to read this overview
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.

Broken heater wire. Slide the seat forward and remove the two seat mount bolts. Slide it back and do the front bolts. Tip the seat back so that you can unplug the two seat heater plugs, back and bottom. Measure the resistance on each of the plugs. It should be ~1 ohm.

Thanks Frank. Can the heater wire be repaired, or can new heaters be sourced? B

One other part to check is the heater control bolted to the bottom of the seat pad plastic frame. It looks like a relay. I’m not sure how to check it other then swapping it with the other one from your passenger seat. You can get new heater grids with new cushions for ~$150 each or just the grids for ~$80. I have never purchased backs just bottoms. They are glued to the foam. I have removed the grids and reused them on other foam. If you do remove the old grid it does pull some of the thin foam with it. Next time I need to replace one I will buy the whole thing, heated seat bottom or back. Think about how packed your old foam is it makes sense to just replace it. It is less hassle and nice to have a comfortable new seat. If you buy the foam pad make sure to get the correct one. Sport seat have less padding under your butt and higher side bolsters. I have a couple of comfort seats that I have been scavenging parts from. No bottom foam or heaters left but back bolsters & heaters, motors, switches etc are still around and for sale. The seats are black, comfort, full power, full leather, memory seats in very good condition. If you need any bits let me know.
