but then the cold time arrive, my heat seat button light up but no heat significable is coming from my seats, i change the fuse ( the 20a under the steering, and the 50a in the engine bay and nothing change
i read that is a probleme frequently happening for es

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.

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 passenger side on my '98 has never worked, but I don't sit there-----so who cares right? ![Wiggle](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/wiggle.gif)
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.
