Driver seat heat inoperative, both seat back and seat bottom. Fuses good. Any way to check heating elements?

Anything else to look for?

The heating grids in the seat bottom and back are typically wired in series, so a break anywhere will totally disable the seat heaters. It's not clear whether you tested for continuity across the heaters as well as for power.  Assuming you have power, most frequently the problem is going to be a broken wire in the seat bottom heating grid. (There is probably a thermostat in the seat as well that is used to regulate temperature and that could have gone bad.) After going through this several times I finally got tired of taking the seat apart to keep fixing broken wires so bought an aftermarket seat heater that straps to the seat and plugs into the cigarette lighter.

Check the actual plug in wire connections under the seat.

Checked the plugs today. All ok.


did you use a test light or something to make sure there was power in the circuit?
