Could be a shorted heated element on the seat! Best way to check is remove the lower butt seat cover.

Same drivers heated seat issue as a lot of people and I finally decided to investigate. Heating element burnt up. Cost $29 at my dealer and about an hour of my time. Good to go now, but this is clearly an issue Ford should address...

Last week my seat started burning my left leg. I would turn it to low and it was fine. As of today, I turn on the heated seat, the light turns on then immediately off. Ugh. Guess it's off to the dealer :-/

If you have Heated/Cooled seats you don't have an element. You have a blower that heats and cools in the back of the seat and blower in the bottom of the seat. I have the same issue. I have ordered a heat/cool control unit from Tasca but I'm on the road until Friday. I will install it and report bsck.

Thanks, let me know what happens.

The back part works fine, its just the butt that doesn't. Do you have the same problem?

How can i tell what part I need ? I am not a huge car guy.....
