Seat problems
Hello All,
Recently noticed two issues with the driver seat (honestly did not check the passenger seat). The lumbar support and seat heater don't work. As I turn the seat heater dial, the light turns on but the seat does not warm up. I press the lumbar support button and nothing happens.
Can both of these problems be related? Perhaps a bad fuse? The car is an '07.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What Mister Blister said.
Did both of these failures occur simultaneously?
A break in the seat heater grid is unfortunately pretty common and virtually un-repairable except at high cost and huge effort. Also, it will look bad unless you do both seats.

I had seat heater bottom go bad on my 2004 gx470 I had bought with extended warranty through lexus they fixed it under warranty ; It was the drivers side. Then had to remove the seat and and put in a new grid & bunch of new clips hog hooks etc the total they billed Lexus for the warranty was 1013.32 . It was done with out a issue and it looked as good as the passenger side.

When I got a quote for the SC, I think it was closer to $2K, but that may have been because they wanted to replace the whole seat. In that scenario (one new, one a decade old), its going to look like crap. You were lucky they were able to repair and you didn't pay a penny.
