In Canada we have a recall notice only on the 1996 models. Anyways, I'm happy to announce that I've fixed the seat warmer problem. The first time I plugged the connectors back in, it didn't work. I was lucky that nothing got damaged. You should feel the heat after 5-7 minutes after switching it on. The second time I had the red wire plugged into the window side (driver's seat)and the white wire (actually it is striped red and white)towards the passenger side. I first checked out the passenger seat which was working; it had the red wire on the passenger side and the white one facng the window.

Thanks to everyone for their help.
