Passanger Seat Warmer Not Working
So I just realized after owning the car for 6 months that the passanger side seat warmer does not work! I mean how often do you sit on the other side if you own the car? All the plugs underneath the seat are plugged in... could I have blown a fuse for the seat warmer to the passanger side? If so where is the fuse panel? What else could I troubleshoot to fix this issue?
thanks.
thanks.

9 times out of 10 the heating element has a broken wire. To fix it, you'd have to remove the seat leather, find where the broken element wire is (look for a burnt spot on the seat foam, then solder the two wires back together.
You could try swapping the heater switches but I doubt it's the problem.
Do a search and you'll find a DIY on how to fix it.

just forget about that seat heater and tell the passenger that their body is the seat heater and to where a jacket
but yeah like what the others said about it being the element in case you want to try and repair it
and i did my driver seat this past week, both the back and seat didn't work, and both had the elements burnned out which had a nice char spot on them (Thank god that material around it is proably flame resistent or there proably be ALOT of burnned cars)

I just read up the "DIY" on the repair... and I just realized on the passanger seat the seat and the back doesn't heat up. Could it be a fuse? if so where is the fuse located for the seat warmer? I checked the connections and they were good. I want to troubleshoot it a little more before I take the seats out of the car and etc...

BTW: i think the heater element might be the same shitty one for the driver side, they just don't break as often cause they are not used that much
