check for crack/ripped wires and connectors plugs behide the buttons.

Your heating element might have been internally shorted. Check the resistance between the positive and negative terminals of the blowing side and compare the value with the working side.

update - passenger seat heats up ok. When i enable the drivers side it pops the fuse right away.

So problem is with drivers side . Any one point me in the right direction which connector under the seat it is . Im thinking the big yellow plug ( i have full electonic seats ) so i see load of cables under the seat.

thanks
