Is my seat heated by the gentherm with blown air or are there wires in the cushions? No wiring diagrams show wires to cushion or seat back only to TED seat and TED cushion. Are both Ted’s in the same module under the seat. So how do I test if Ted is bad vs climate control module? Are both passenger and driver the same?

The seat heating and cooling system is typically controlled by Thermoelectric Devices. These will be the same seat to seat. Have you run a CAN scan to see if any codes are present? You can get a CAN scanner (Controller Area Network) which will work on most cars from Amazon.

Here is a video to show you how:

I don't know if the TED's can be tested.

I swapped TEDs. Driver seat now works. The passenger side came on initially but now it doesn’t work. So I guess I have to order a new TED.
Thanks for the help.
