Mine still work pretty good although sometimes the passenger switch gets stuck and needs to be "persuaded". Maybe the heating elements themselves are just burned out. Fuses dont really just burn out for no reason, and i guess good grounds cant hurt.

lol on my 93, it takes forever to heat up so i just disconnected the switch so it makes taking apart the center console easier

^I want heated seats Well maybe I don't I've seen a lot of guys ask this before and there never was a definitive solution mostly just check for corrosion.

I have heated seats in my 97 ES300. My driver side just went a few days ago. The heater element will eventually go. It is quite expensive to replace...the element is expensive and the labour involved is quite expensive as well.

It will require you to remove the leather cover of the seat to access the heater element.

The seat heater on my '97 ES went two years ago.
Used an independent shop to replace the elements.
Total with labor was about $5??!
Not a cheap fix.

Just wait till you get a new custom leather seats then you can order massager/heating elements. I remember seeing it as an option on leatherseats.com

The passenger side on my '98 has never worked, but I don't sit there-----so who cares right?
The driver side gets too hot I usually have to turn it off after about 5 min.
I don't plan on trying to fix the problem until it effects the driver side. Even then it sounds like a very expensive fix.
Check connections.
Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

My drivers heated seat worked so good for years. I have a 2000 es 300. Suddenly the light went out on the switch but only in high. Also did not get hot but light n heat worked on low. Would love high again cause I like it for my bad hip n back. Strange that high isn't working but low is. Lights on passenger seat both work. Not sure either what to do. Thx for any answers.

On my car the drivers side switch failed, on the high position it lit both high and low and didn't light up in low. I was able to repair the switch but it's much easier to simply replace it.
