Default Heater for drivers seat works sporadically. Any Ideas?

I have owned this B4 for about 5 months. When I bought it the heated seats worked fine. Now the drivers side works whenever it wants to. The passenger side is fine, I know its not a fuse (which I have checked) Has anyone had this happen to them?

The wires become brittle over time. It may make good contact when your bum is on it once but maybe not the next time.

You can STFA for threads on how to repair but you'll need many hours and lots of patience.

Default This seems to happen more to the sedans than the CQ's......

Check the plug/connector for fraying or cracked wires on the cable itself. Check the cable wires for continuity. But ususally the matrix wires in the seat go. CQ's have a better wire matrix than the sedans. My CQ still has the OEM one from new and still fry's my azz. The 93 90 sedan I have, I've had to replaced twice. Seats in CQ are better made?

You've replaced the wires twice? Damn! Glutton for punishment.
