Neither of my heated seats work either. (I bought the 97 GLT Wagon in April and wasn't able to test them out.) When following other posts, I checked what I could. Fuse is OK because it is shared by another function that works, switches both light up, wires underneath all seemed connected so I went to the thermostats. Passenger therm. was disconnected so when I plugged it back and tried it - no luck. Driver therm. had a broken terminal. I moved the passenger therm. over to the driver side and still didn't receive any heat. So, both seats don't give the heat.

I decided to replace the therm. with the broken terminal. Went to the local dealer and they had 1 heck of a time getting the actual part. In fact, they said the passenger side therm. was a different part# and specs. than driver side (something about voltage???). Anyone aware of this? I would have thought they were interchangeable. Bottom line is that I ordered the part and it cost $24.00 just for the passenger side therm.! I'll try this fix and if it doesn't work, I may have to bite the bullet and bring it into them for more diagnosis. Otherwise, where are you ordering the heating elements for that low of a price. I may get ambitious and try myself if the dealer quotes too rich for me to get them fixed. Thanks!
