Heated Seats

I have an 05 TL and the heated seats on the passenger side back don't seem to be working - the seat itself seems to be working but not that back part of the seat. Any ideas on the next step to get this corrected? It has around 50K so it is out of the warranty.

yup, I think it's because of the passenger side airbag sensor they dont have it.

If you had a hairy back you wouldn't need heated seat backs....

nah the airbag sensor is the weight sensor in the seat..... they probably dont do it to save a few bucks. the back heating element costs like 62$ and then extra wiring would have to be drawn through.... the driver has to be way more comfortable than the passengers
