you probably have a broken wire in the seat cushion. I just fixed my driver seat friday night, I am going to be fixing the passenger seat today.
They make a repair kit for these to actually replace the wiring harness for the elements (2 required per seat), but most of the time the wire harness is broke where it connects to the element, which you can resolder and it should work fine.
first test to make sure this is the problem.
TEST:
using a Digital multimeter.
unplug the 4-way connector under the back of the seat.
test for continuity between the Driver Circuit Cavities (YELLOW and WHITE) wires of the seat.
if you have no continuity then then seat will need to be repaired.
And test the sensor.
setting the meter to OHMs (it needs to be able to read up to 200K)
test the other 2 (switched output circuit and groudn circuit) wires oposite of the Driver Circuit wires, they should be Brown/Black and Black or somthing like that. Now you should get a reading between 2K and 200K.
