Check the connections under the seat (if you have not already done so). Here is the rub....it could be the elements themselves or the control module located in the dash behind the hazard switch or a combination of both. Usually it is the control module that goes first and then causes the elements to overheat and burn out. In any regards in order to fix the problem you may have to replace the element(s) that have burned out and the control module. I was lucky when I had this issue, my dealer just replaced the seats totally and the control module.
