    Hey guys!

    My left and right heated seat is not working. The switch light turn on for both sides but is not heating. Does anyone know what could be causing this issue? I have a 2014 T4R SR5 Premium.

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    It's a long list...
    Check the heated seat fuses on the cabin fuse box on the driver side. They should be labeled on the cover. The switches are on a separate fuse (IGN 10A?) vs the heater control assemblies for the pads under the seats.

    Thanks for the feedback @Old Red & @Saker I started last night checking for the fuse but got stuck trying to identify them. I will report back once I checked them today.

    So, I checked the fuses and they are ok. I was assuming they would be b/c if a fuse was blown the light on the switch won't be coming On and they both do. Any other suggestions??

    Here's the diagram for the heated seats. You checked both the 20A Seat Heater FR and the 10A ECU-IG No 2? Visually or with a Multi-meter? I myself have been fooled by a fuse that "looked" fine but was not. Next thing I would check is the heater control sub assemblies under the seats. Did both seats stop working simultaneously? To me that seems odd that they both quit.

    I checked the fuse visually not with a meter. I can continue with the search tomorrow and see. The switches have power b/c the lights are on so I may get positive feedback from the meter.
