I don't have heated seats, but my spare fuse panel cover from a '95 says it's a single 15A fuse for the seat heaters.

Those old seat heaters are supposedly pretty weak heat-wise and prone to failure, so it may just be that the heating element died. I would use an infrared gun on both seats in the morning when it's coolest out and see if the driver's seat is producing any, or as much, heat.

That's a smart idea. Because I really can't tell if it comes on but that orange light does not turn on when I flip the switch the passenger one still does. I'll check the wires down the line not in a big rush just thought someone else had this problem nothing in the search history though

On my '95, one fuse powers both seats.
