We do not sense any heat when we activate the seat warmers for out 2005 xg 350 Hyundai. Is there a thermostat issue? Or worse? The green light is on when we push the seat warming buttons, but we do not sense any heat in the seats.

Check all connections and grounds for the heating coils. They should be under the seats. Also check the relays and fuses.

check the switch if it operates.then check for power at the seat elements connector.there is a element in the seat pads.they are bad and you would have to replace the whole seat cover to fix this.

If the light on the dash turns on, the switch works. It's somewhere other than the switch.
