Go on back to the Performance Paddock and click on the "edit" icon on your first post on that thread, then you can click the "delete" box and when you delete that first post, the whole thread will be gone, so take care of that please.
The first thing you want to do is decide what isn't working. 9 times out of 10 it's just the lower cushion that isn't heating, not the entire seat. It's fairly common on these for the cushion heater to fail. When you click on the seat heater switches, usually you can hear the relays under the seat faintly clicking on. If you cna't hear them, you can try feeling them instead, usually you need a second person to operate the switch for you, but given enough desparation you can turn it into a 1 man job.
When testing to see if the whole seat is inop, be sure to have the engine running, the heaters draw alot of amps. Turn on both of the heater (left and right) so you can do a fair comparison. Then compare the bottom cushion temp to the backrest temp, and also compare left and right seats. Use the "high heat" position. I recommend doing this when the interior is cold, makes it alot more apparent what's going on.
I'd say that because the indicator lights come on that it's not a fuse. if you can hear or feel the relays operating I'd say it's pretty well narrowed down to a pad. There are 2 relays under the seat, one is for "low" heat, the other is for "high" heat.
