Heated seat switch doesn't light up.

Drivers side heated seat switch does not light up. Passenger side does. Anybody else have this same problem? Easy fix? Should I care? Seat does get warm.

That looks aftermarket and definitely not stock.

You have aftermarket seat heaters. You are going to have to start by checking all the wiring, check the fuse/power wire and check the ground. Not sure how they wired it up, usually it's tapped into the fuse box under the steering wheel.

This is very good to know. I had no idea though I do remember seeing a yt video where their heated seat was controlled by the touchscreen. Thanks. Like I said they do work on both sides its just that the led on the drivers side does not light up.

If the heater works, then the diode is not working or a wire came loose on the switch. If it bothers you, replace them with a new switch. Here are the ones you have.

I missed that last part at the end of your post.

Thanks for the help guys this forum is very helpful and posting a quick picture was very helpful. Now we know why I couldn't find useful information in the owners manual. The led on the switch not lighting up is not a big deal it's just a little hard to find in the dark. I suppose as long as they are working properly ill just hope they last.

Thanks I wonder if I can pry them up from the top pretty easily.
