Hi, I know how great those heated seats are to have working.

The seat cushion is held in by two 10mm bolts (I think) that are parallel with the floor at the fron of the seat. If you remove the bolts, the seat cushion comes out by lifting up and forward. Be carefull as it will still be attached via the wires to the heater.

Follow the wires and disconnect them. Then use a voltmeter and see if power is coming out of the connector on the floor. If it is, shift your attention to the seat cushion. Using an ohmeter, check for continuity on the seat cushion heater. I don't know what the exact resistance is but it is probably less than 5,000 ohms if not a lot less. If it is open, say a meg ohm or greater, it's either a bad heater or maybe one of the wires are broken. If you aren't getting any power to the connector, you might need a new heater switch. Do the lights light up on the switch when you turn it on?

Good luck.
