I suspected it would be leather as the non-sports leather heaters seem to be prone to failure.  It would appear the heater pads are sewn into the hide, and hence not replacable.

the rumour I'd heard is that it's possible to put a replacement element underneath the leather - it'd take a bit longer for the heat to transfer through, but would be better than having a cold arse!!!  ;D

Take the seat out & have a look. :y  :y I fixed my leather seat (Twice! 1 Omega & 1 Senator) by cutting out a small section of the element that had burnt out! Ta Da! I had a heated seat. Just look for the scorch mark If its already broke  - you can't break it any more. Remember to give it 5/10 mins though after you've diconnected the battery before you start messing due to the pyrotechnics in your seat. :o

could it not be a fuse or lose connection?  (I have similar problem BTW)

I am sure there is a member attempting this on leather

It can be done but you will need lots of patience.

If mine happens to pack up i will get the father in law do it as he is an upolsterer.

......  or you could just put a heater pad from a fabric upholstered seat in between your leather & the seat base.
