Heated seat not working

Bought my TL-S over the summer, and didn't think to check the heated seats, seeing as it was a 80+ degree day. I've since discovered that the drivers side seat does not heat up when turned on. I've tried both High and Low settings, neither seems to heat the seat up. The LED in the switch turns on however, leading me to believe there isn't a blown fuse or something. Additionally, the passenger seat heats up just fine when turned on.

Any ideas on what this may be?

If the heater coil (or what have you) in the seat is show somehow, anyone know how feasible it is to remove the passenger seat heating assy. and move it into the drivers seat? Or is the wiring integrated too much in the seat?

Thanks!

Its most likely the element in the seat. the drivers and passenger heaters are different. You would have to buy a new one. If your any bit handy its not that hard to do. Id use this site to buy a new one
