Seat Heater Switches & Power Mirror Switch Stopped Working

The heated seats and the remote control mirrors stopped working.
Fuse #48 is good. I replaced it with a fresh 20amp fuse but no change.
I am at a loss as to what to do next.
Power is at fuse.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, Gary

I cleaned the MAP sensor a few days ago. Could I have disturbed something under the hood?
Anybody have any thoughts?

Does the Body Control Module control the heated seats AND the mirrors? Does anybody know where this module is located?

Had the Body Control Module scanned. It is good.

Anybody have any ideas?

Removed TIPM. A pin in C7 had a wire that had corroded and broken off. Soldered and dielectriced. A few others looked shakey.
Hope me talking to myself has helped someone.
These TIPM's seem vulnerable.
Are there any steps we can take to overcome their failure.

I'm glad you helped yourself!

J/K
I have not seen this thread until now but I would have said to check the TIPM for anything obvious. Seems lots of problems like this get related to it. Not sure how to make it more fool proof though
