Heated/cooled seat question

2007 w/ heated/ventilated seats option and heated steering wheel. Also has dynamic contour seats option. An unidentified air bladder leaks, so contour option not functioning. Dlr. quoted $800 just for the one bladder, plus labr. Am protracting repair.

The steerig wheel and seat back heat very well, but the seat bottom does not. A "bun warmer" is nice during Wisconsin's winter.

Query--is the heated seat operating or working directly tied to the contour seats option working or operating or is the heating a separate issue? I would think separate. If separate, what could be the malfunction/

Thanks.

Noticed recently that my heated seats work great on the back, not so well on the butt. Is this a fault or by design?

I think that would be a fault... My 07 S550 evenly heats back and seat bottom...
