DRIVERS SEAT HEATER QUIT WORKING

This week, the driver seat heater quit working.  I've checked the fuses, even swapped fuses with the passenger seat heater, and nothing.  I checked underneath the seat for a loose wire or fitting, still nothing.  The passenger seat heater is fine.

 

Has anyone experienced this or have any other troubleshooting ideas before I take it to the dealer?  I'm an hour away from the nearest dealer, where I bought it is 2 hours, so taking it in is a pain.

 

We bought in late November and have 6,200 miles.  It's too soon for problems.

 

BTW, the C-Max has fuse boxes under the hood, under the dash and behind the left wheelwell (which is where the seat heater fuses were).  Not a big deal...I'm just used to having that one fuse box to go to.  There's gotta be at least a couple of hundred fuses in the car.   It was a bit humorous trying to find the correct fuse in the owners manual.

You could check the resistance of the heating coil in the seat at the plug under the seat.  A bad/broken coil will show very high/infinite resistance while a good one should have a low resistance.  Given you checked the fuses it seems it would have to be wiring after the fuses, the switch, or the heating coil itself.
