Default 03 LX470 Front Heated Seats help!

I haven't used the heated seats in a long time, just the other day I started to press on the heated seats button there's no light. I can't feel any difference in temperatures as well. I checked in the engine bay fuse box but can't find a fuse that says front L or R heated seats. No engine light or any indications as to know that those seats aren't working. The power seats still works just the heated part, anyone have this problem or can help me thanks!

How long did you wait to see if it heats up the seats or not?

From my experience, every vehicle is different. For instance, my GS430 switch heats up the seats really quick but my ES (which has a high and low mode for the heated seats) takes a while to warm up regardless of what setting you select.

On the GS my indicator light has been out for a while on the switch, but the heated function still works 100%.

I don't drive the LX in the winter time so unfortunately I have no idea how long it should take on those vehicles.

As you face the underwood fuse box, you'll see "ST HTR" about 1/2-3/4 of the way down in the rightmost column of fuses. 15 amps.

Illumination to the switch has nothing to do with power to the heaters...it's connected to most of the other dash lights controlled by the dimmer.

CEL also has nothing to do with power to the heaters or the heater switch bulbs.

Same with power seats...heater has nothing to do with the stuff that moves the seat.

With both no power and no illumination to the switches, I'd check the 15 amp fuse first. Then I'd yank the top of the console and check for voltage from the switch connectors.

hth and report back w/ what you find.

I'm not to techie but here's the engine bay fuse box. All fuses seems to look good, after I pulled them out, not burned through and looks the same.
