Troubleshooting: If system does not heat up or no indication of power. Check fuse in seat heater harness and vehicle. Temperature of seat may be above the preset thermostat temperature and will not allow it to come on. (ie: sun shining on seat) If the light on the heated seat switch does not come on, it could be that the switch bulb is burnt out (replace switch) or that there is no power to the switch. Ensure that all connectors are properly connected and that the ground wire is properly grounded.
