when i pulled the switch from mine it was melted, quick fix from british atlantic
to check and see if it is the module just swap the driver and passenger (they are the same in 03)
I think the d & p are off the same fuse

There should be a fuse under the seat as well, accually a fuse block if memory serves - for all the seat functions, including the heated seat.

When I talked to an expert, he said its most likely the element. The part is relatively in-expensive, but the labour can be quite expensive, especially if you have a genuine leather seat (like I do).

Mine Doesnt Work Either. Im the worlds laziest mechanic.

You noticed!

There is a whole thread about heated seats that just keep getting hotter and hotter. I wish there was a temp adjustment.

All the fuses are fine, connections are good, so I'm assuming its the element.

On another note, the passanger side doesn't actuate forward or backwards, but it does go up and down. Same thing, all the fuses are good. It acts like it wants to go forward and back (clicks), but it doesn't seem to want to go?

I think you missed a fuse / relay.

Which relay would I be looking for? I think there's three fuses under the seat per each seat. None of them look blown to me?
