I wonder if there is a fuse for that? Otherwise, check and redo all the connections under the seat.

I dont have the manual with me but I would try to find the fuse for the heated seats, but if the fuse blown, I would think the light will not light up and the fuse should be for both seat. If your heated seats work before and you never disconnected anything underneath the seats, then I would say its a bad heat element. The last time I check, those elements are not cheap. 500 or 600 bucks I believe.

Yes check all connectors and make sure they are tight. If you can find the connector for the heat element, try to reverse the connection if you can. On some earlier Lexus models, the heat element connector is not keyed and can be reverse by accident, not sure about the GX. If you have a amp meter handy, you can check the ampere going to the heater. If you have a ohm meter, you can check resistance of the heat element when the heater is disconnected. Most heaters are pretty low in resistance. Try comparing the two heater element's resistance.

Good Luck
