Having first checked the relevant fuses I'd then check for 12v being supplied to the elements. If it is being supplied but they don't work then assume they've broken up internally.

Whilst we're on the subject, approx. what current do the seats draw and what area does the heat bit cover, just the base or the back too, the whole width or just the centre. Are they controlled by a thermostat inside the seat or are they self-regulating (resistance rises as they heat up so once warm current reduces). I'm thinking of making some heating elements for the seats I transplant into my SIII. I'm also thinking of heating the steering wheel, so the 'current drawn per square inch of seat' would be a useful figure.
