driver seat heater

I don't know if this has been posted before, but has anyone found a way to get the driver's seat heater working again?

We've looked for the fuse for that to no luck.

There's a thread in this forum that discusses various folks' experiences with heated seat failures. Do a search using "heated seats" and you'll find it. If you're really lucky, it could be the switch. Does the light on the switch come on? If it does and still no heat, then its likely a break in the element, which is internal to the seat cushion. Apparently, there's a lot of flex in the element near the rear of the seat cushion, and breaks occur frequently.

You can replace the element, but requires removal of the seat covering. I believe the element and the foam cushion come as a unit.
