Default Both heated seats don't work!!

Both of my heated seats don't work.. When i press the switch the (either side) the light comes on and the relay click and light goes off..

I read the previous posts but couldn't find this answer?

- if both seats don't work would that be a sign of a defective module or is it possible that both elements failed at the same time??

I have checked all the fuses for heated seats (under the back seat) and they are all ok..

I would appreciate any help..

I believe there are 3 elements in each seat, if any of the 3 are bad the entire seat will not work. Its possible each seat could have an element bad but not the same one.

yeah, the driver'* seat heater doesn't work on mine, does that same thing, the light turns on, then somethin clicks and it goes off. you said somethin about the fuses under the back seat? where exactly are they located? and if its not the fuses but one of the three elements, how do I fix it?

When you remove your rear seat you will see another fuse panel like the one under the hood of the car.. Take car cover off and locate the fuses for each seat. I don't remember what number they are but just look under the cover for the sticker and you will see which fuse is for what..

I am still working on my seats.. Someone said that the seats won't work in the summer months. IS THIS TRUE?
