Seat heater switch light "blinks" but doen't work

Hey guys. Jumped in the beast this morning and no seat heater for the driver...pasenger seat heats fine. The swith (high or low) only blinks and doesn't turn on. Any ideas on what's up?

FSM says you have an open circuit...
Probably a broken wire at the seat somewhere.

I'd start at the rear outer corner.

Is there a plug for the seat that he could undo and check with an ohm-meter for an open circuit in the seat?

I believe its in the harness under the seat that comes out of the floor, for the power and heaters.

There is a resistance chart in the FSM Section 8G-9
