My seat are not heating up. The light on the seat is on when press. The seat indicator on the dash saying the seat is on work. But no heat. Is there any fuse or relay or modual some where i can check.

I had that problem once. It was a open in the butt heating pad itself. I was able to confirm with a ohm meter. I replaced the pad without much difficulty.
 






How did you get the pad out of the seat?
 






Remove the 4 mounting bolts for the seat frame to floor. Disconnect the wiring connectors. Pull the seat out of the truck. Then flip the seat over and there were some white vinyl clips that hold the seat leather onto the frame. Once the seat leather was off I separated the foam a bit and the heating pad could be removed. Watch the routing of the wiring on the way out so you can put it back the same.
 






Here is a link to the info, including troubleshooting, from my Shop Manual:

I can also post the wiring diagrams. I just need to know if you have an early or late build.

Early Build: Vehicles built up to 03/2002

Late Build: Vehicles built 03/2002 onward

Good luck getting it sorted. :thumbsup:
