06 100 Series Seat Heater Elements not working (1 Viewer)

[porkandcorn]

I just bought an 06, and neither seat heater is working on either setting. I assumed it was a fuse, not allowing power to the system. The button indicator switches do light up, tho. Seams unlikely both elements are totally dead in both seats, since I've had a couple other similar age (04) LCs, and never had any issues.

Thoughts?

Check the connections under the seat it may have been disconnected.

you can also test for power under the seat at the connection, if you have power you probably have a bad seat heater, if you don't then you can start testing in other places

How common is it for the elements to go bad?

my buddy had a truck that both wouldn't heat anymore, it does happen. I guess a lot of it would depend on how much they where used

has anyone on MUD swapped front seats between the '04 and '06 100 Series? i'm told the issue is with the electrical harness, but curious if the seats themselves will actually swap over?
