Lost rear seat heat

Anyone got any ideas on how to figure out what caused my rear seats to lose heat?

No heat, no illumination on the buttons

Fuse looks good

There appears there might be 3 different fuses. Hope these diagrams help

The problem has been found. I received a private message from a member here and now my seat heaters are working reliably.

Everyone should carefully inspect the bundle of wires directly above the parking brake pedal assembly. The top of the pedal mechanism can rub and damage/expose several wires, I had two that would find ground because the insulation was rubbed off.

Whether you have rear seat heat or not, this could be a real problem if you happen to have these wires hanging down against that pedal bracket.

That bundle of wire up there is where my issue was. Two wires lost their insulation and created power to ground.
