Heated Seat Problem

When I turn on the heated seat on the driver's side with 2 red led light on, only the back has heat and the seat has no heat. Is it an easy fix?

Could be a connector or a bad heat element on the seat. Best have it checked out by a dealer

Hey, same exact thing is wrong with mine!
I get heat on the back of the seat but not on the bottom....or my bottom!!

Had the dealer check it out when it went in for the last oil change. Service rep said it was a bad heating element, only on the bottom part of the seat. It will run me a little over $200 to fix. Still debating wether to fix it or not. When I'm not in the truck I say....nah, keep the money in my pocket, but when I'm in the cold truck I say....damn I wish I had fixed it!!!

I think I will break down soon and just get it fixed. Why does everything on this truck have to be so damn expensive to fix!!
