I don't know if 2nd gens are the same, but for 3rd gens high switch flashing and low switch off indicates open circuit in the heating element.

It sounds like you can verify by taking an ohm meter reading on the terminals for the heating element on the effected seat. The book suggests moving the cushion around while doing this, since the problem could be intermittent.

The book says the heating element can't be removed without damaging the cushion, but that the replacement part is designed to be installed over the original heating element.
