Default Heated seat not working

Hey guys,

So I have never once had to use my heated seats in AZ, but this huge storm has even plunged our temperatures into the 40's! Since it was cold I turned on all the heated seats and all burn your butt except the drivers seat..no heat at all. This isn't a huge concern for me as I will need it maybe once a year, but since you guys always have answers I figured I would ask you all what to look for to fix this. thanks

Could be a broken wire under the seat.

Run the seat all of the way forward then look under the seat from the back. Should be in the middle of the seat bottom. You are looking for a 2 pin connector with a black wire and a red wire. Sometimes a wire is broken at that connector.

Thanks for the update. There seems to be a trend with these wires breaking.
