Where would I start to try to fix this myself?
Is there a fuse for the bench alone? The back works.
Is there a weak point in the wiring?
Does the element eventually burn out?
After some Google research:
- I note that the switch lights (1) or (2) both light up.
- I note that the yellow wiring connection at the back of the seat is plugged in.
- I think I can feel heat coming from both bolsters. But not the interior seat cushion.
Pull the seat cushion (two screws) and inspect the 2 seat heater connections by independently applying power to the separate heaters and see what works.
Yes, the heating elements (fine wires) are somewhat fragile.
I found someone who posted that they switched a bolster wire to the inner seat wire to improve.
His broken wire must have been upstream of the elements.
Another fellow located a break in his bolster wire and soldered it back together.
