[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 1027404, member: 52972"] How did you test the fuse? If you are sure the fuse is good and not blown, then your next step would be to check the switch. That means it should have voltage going to the switch or you have a wiring or connector problem going to the seat. You should also have voltage coming out of the switch to the heating elements when the switch is turned on...if not you probably have a bad switch. If the switch is good but still no heat then you either have a wiring problem from the switch to the heating element, or the seat heating element is bad. That will require major disassembly of the seat to repair or replace the heating element. update: I should add that most heated seats have a timer relay that shuts the heating element off after so many minutes when the seat has been warmed....so that could also be another component that can be tested similar to testing the switch. ....Rich [/QUOTE]
