Well, that wasn't it....
Replaced the pig tail on my passenger rear heated seat as one of the wires pulled out and the heater wasn't working. I hit the button and it turned on momentarily, but then quit. The driver side works fine. I haven't seen any other broken wires. Do the rear heated seats go through the same module under the front passenger seat? What else should I check? Thinking maybe the element is bad itself.

I'll check that. Are they known for melting connections too?

I don't think they're "known" for melting connections but the Rear Seat Control Module is fed from a 15 amp fuse (F20 in the BJB). At that current level it wouldn't take much corrosion or dirt on a connector to get things hot. In addition, the seat cushion and seat back heater elements are in series electrically and the seat cushion has a temp sensor to detect if things are getting too hot. If any one of those goes bye-bye that seat will go cold.
