Check wiring to seat. Check the heating elements themselves for
continuity. Check that when switch is flipped, it kicks the relay
that puts current on the seat.

If all else fails, check *your* seat for excessive Novocaine.

I can remember when Jeeps were driven by men - not pansies who want to keep
their but warm. I though being cols and miserable was all part of the
experience.

Yep, I was waiting for the "Real Jeeps don't have heated seats" line, but
this will do.

Heating elements quite often break, requiring removal of the seat cover and
stitching in a new element. If you have an ohmmeter, you can check the
continuity, or lack thereof, of the heating element.
