Might have a bad element. When one of my elements went bad, neither the ds or ps seat heaters worked right. if one of the elements is bad, there should be a DTC... Check for DTC's with your flashscan.

hmmm... don't think so. I think the seat heater codes come from BCM. I'll see if I can find the seat heater troubleshooting tomorrow.

Another thing that my friend at the dealership said he has seen a few times is the wiring harness gets rubbed threw at the corner of the seat against the seat frame.
