1999 tahoe front diver side heated seat not work

[tahoe99]

My heated seat stopped working I swap the switch and the module and they work in the pass seat and nothing in the driver seat how can you check the heating element in the top and bottom I have 2 yellow wires and 2 black wires coming out of the bottom heating element that gose it to a 4 pin connector that is under the seat I have power but no heat in the seat can I jump the wires to the heating element to see if the top or bottom is bad

Ohm both sets to see if it has a closed or brocken connection

The thin metal strips that comprise the heating element in the seat flex and fatigue and over time they will break. Cheapest thing to do is buy a Rear Window Defroster Repair Kit and pull the seat cushion off and repair the break in the element. It will be pretty visible as to where it's broken. The best solution is to get to that point and just replace the heater element, as they are separate units from the seat cushion and cover.

In 99 tahie's the heated element is part of the cover it is not cheap I put a paper clip in the a and d in the 4 pin connector the purple wire and the light blue wire and the back of the seat the heat came on nothing on the bottom I had the bottom replace about 4 years ago
