    I've searched but haven't been able to find much info on the issue.
    I've got an 05 access cab TRD with factory heated seats.
    The heater switches have two positions, I'm assuming low and high?
    I know the driver side is not working at all, the light on the switch will not come on when switched to low (green light), but when turned on high, the orange light will turn on. Still, no heat in the drivers side regardless.

    The passenger side is the opposite. Green light comes on, orange does not. My passengers report no warm butt as well.

    Does anyone have any info, links, or write-ups as to how to diagnose and repair these guys? It's been cold lately up here and my butt's cold on those leather seats!! :eek:

    I appreciate it!

    There was no factory heated seats, until 2013. That's the limited fake leather only.

    Assuming you checked fuses and plugs?

    Really? Mine would be an aftermarket addition then? They sure look factory, although it's only the switch you see I guess.
    Haven't traced any plugs or wires yet, but all fuses have been checked.

    Aftermarket heaters.

    Got a pic of the switch for us?

    I would start tracing wires and see if the switch is even hooked to anything.
