Why is it that my heated seat doesn’t work?

My car’s heated seats actually make my drive bearable when it’s cold out, but all of a sudden, my driver’s side one has stopped working! Why is it that my heated seat doesn’t work?

Faulty heating element

You can troubleshoot these elements yourself, or a mechanic can take a look at your heated seat for you to see what the problem might be.
