Heated seat issues...

My passenger seat works, driver's seat doesn't. The light comes on when I press the button, but the seat will not heat up. Already checked the fuse (before I checked the passenger seat). Any suggestions? Neither the butt or back of the seat are working.

The elements are probably bad, the SVT elements are discontinued but you can make regular ones work if you really want to.

Damnit! :( Are they interchangeable between passenger and driver seats? I rarely have a passenger anyway.

I have seen issues under the seat when it runs along the right side seat track.

I't possible. I have an amplifier mounted under my seat and something may have rubbed. I'll check it out.
