Heated Seat not working

My passenger side seat doesnt heat up. When the switch is on, you can feel warmth slightly around the switch area itself, but it never heats up like the drivers side does.
anyone know what to do?

How about taking a look at the switch connection.

This is some obvious stuff bro, no offense, but you pointed out to yourself what you should look at.

just wanted to see if there was a common cause. I learned from asking about the possible front end noise (which was really vague) ended up having a simple cheap cause with the hood noise....which ended up saving me a boatload of cash. Had I not asked, I may have started replacing ball joints and everything else.

I will take out the switch and look at it. Anything obvious that I should be looking for? Broken wires?
Is there a seperate fuse for each seat? Drivers side heats up quick and hot. Passenger side remains cold.

You seem to be on the right path.

pulled the switch for the heated seats/Lumbar on the passenger side. The lumbar switch works fine, but the heated seat does not come on. Unfortunatley the wires are soldered right to the switch...no connector so remove the switch and work on it inside. I don't see any obvious problems with it.
Anyone else have a problem with your heated seat not coming on? Did you fix it?

switch is fine. gotta be the heater coil in the seat. Not even gonna attempt that one.

There was a heated seat how to just posted recently, I suggest you read it and learn how to take your seat apart and check it.

You sure the switch is fine?

sure the switch is fine.

Check out the heated seat thread rlith just created recently.

two connectors underneath the rear or the front passenger seat. one big, one small. Can someone tell me what each is for? I only have lumbar control and heat. Not power movement.

I will tell you what to do Josh....

Don't be sorry, you just learning and you are asking legitimate questions.

You're on the right track. Here are a few suggestions for you. 1, Invest in the proper tools if you can, even if it takes a few years. 2, Research anything you do before you just tear into it. Use this Forum, go to parts stores, ask questions, but get a good idea about what you're doing, you'll save a lot of time and money in the long run. You can even go to your local Library if necessary. They usually have current Chilton and Motor repair manuals and copy machines to make copies of the pictures and instructions.

Just my :2cents:
