...or at least the light no longer goes on after turning the **** from the central "neutral" position. I've searched, but couldn't find any reference to this problem. I'll take it to the dealer for diagnosis. I hope the CPO warranty will cover the fix. Thanks for any information that might help me understand possible causes of this problem!

Not sure where the fuse is, but I would look into that. Now if it is the fuse, something bad would caused this and may need fixing. Or other suggestion would be if it is only one seat, maybe a wiring harness under the seat. But since it is a CPO warranty, let lexus take the first shot at it. Good luck. According to a quick google search, the lexus website lists heating and cooling systems as covered. Sure sounds like what the seats do for you. I would say your covered

Thanks for the reply! I was also curious if anyone else has had this problem....

I've had this problem in the rear and they replaced the whole system under warranty. I don't believe it had ever been used previously until I tried it one day when the car was 7 yo .

Good to know, thanks!

Update: it turns out that there was simply a connection or contact problem caused from work done on my car last week to replace the front center console/armrest cover, which had bubbling and cracking on it, as well as a very rough, almost sandpapery texture. A detailer I consulted said there had been a previous repair (not replace) job on it. Looking closely, one can see some discoloration on the adjacent passenger seat rim, apparently from this repair. I'm guessing this not-so-great repair was done as part of the interior detailing prior to selling the car as a CPO.

Ironically, while the replacement cover looks and feels great, upon closing, it no longer slides completely forward on its own as the previous cover did. I'm not accepting this outcome, and will start a new thread about the issue.
