GEN 2 Help With Heated Front Seats - Not A Fuse Problem

[Basil S2K]

Both heated front seats not working on my 2019 Raptor, the indicator lights work as do the heated rear seats.

Checked the fuse and It's good.

Any next steps to check before I take to the dealer (I'd really like to avoid this if it is something simple).

Thanks all

The heating elements have shorted out and need to be replaced... super common issue. Usually it's only the driver side due to more wear.

Gen 2 Drivers Seat Heater - Replaced

I finally got around to replacing my broken driver's seat heating element this weekend. Wow, it was super easy!!!! Damage found - one broken copper wire bundle Location of damaged wire pointed out by needle nose pliers. Front of seat is bottom of picture! New heater element on left side...

what he said.....here is my thread. just takes a little patiences and $27 per seat

Drivers Side Heated Seat fixed with pictures

Like many, my Gen 2 drivers side heated seat died. 3.2 years and 42,*** miles, so no warranty help. I bought the replacement heating element for $19. Plugged it in and confirmed it worked and the one in the seat did not. So time to get to work. #1 - disconnect battery. No one wants to risk...

back again, before I tear my seats apart why would both of the seats break at almost the same time? Seems odd. Saw another you tube vid saying I should unplug everything and plug it back in, simple enough I'll do that tomorrow.

anything else come to mind?

There is just one 15 fuse for both seats that I've found and replaced, are there any others?

Any mods, by chance?
Have you checked for Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC)? You can use FORSCAN to check and clear codes. Forscan changes - tweak your truck

I have mine at the dealership for the same problem, I'll update their results.

Stock, aside from driving lights in the bumper hooked up to the factory headliner switches. no issues there. I don't have a scanner.

Had both mine fail within 15K, replaced under warranty/ESP. Now at98K the drivers is gone again. Thanks to ESP it’s being fixed tomorrow. Seems to be a Raptor problem as I’ve had 2 escapes and an edge all go 120+ with no problems. Ford needs to address this in a top of the line truck!
