04 Seat heater doesn't work

I just bought an 04 F350. When I first tried the seat heater, the light on the button didn't work. Every time since then the light does come on, but the seat does not get warm. Any idea why?

often times the heating element itself in the seat cracks due to heat and age. it's a simple fix with a solder gun. you have to remove the seat cover and trace the wires to the heater bundle. if this is the cause, you'll see where the wire has broken. resolder and it's good to go
