The heating element has shorted out. There's a couple threads on this topic. You can either attempt to solder the shorted part or buy the pad for around $100.

I don't know about all the CLs, but on the '03 6 speed the back is not heated, only the seat bottom.

nice try.. but you're wrong
all CL and TL (except 99 TL) have the drivers side bottom and seatback heated, and the passenger bottom only (can't do back because of OPDS)
