I have a 2004 Infiniti G35x; the passenger side power seats do not work at all since I accidentally left the window down during a huge thunderstorm. What are my options to check myself before bringing it in? Is it a fuse (if so where is the fuse located? - I already checked the fuse box next to the brake peddle)
The problem may be a fuse, but if the fuses are OK inside, and in the underhood fuse box, then the seat motors are probably bad now. Another issue could be that the BCM got wet, which may control the seats. But if the drivers seat works, then it's probably just bad or siezed seat motors.
Blow fuse o loos wirer
Did you check fuse

IT HAS TO HAVE A POWER CORD COMING FROM THE SEAT UNDER THE BOTTOM OF THE SEAT TO MAKE IT WORK SEE IF IT IS PLUG UP

There should be a connector under each seat which connects power to the heating element. It is likely either clipped to the seat or tucked under the carpeting. You'll almost definitely need to remove the seat to get easier access to it, though it should be possible to find/access it without removing it, just more difficult. Once you find it, disconnect it. You can use any multimeter with a continuity tester to test the circuit. First, check the DC voltage coming from the wires that come up from the floorboard. If you are getting voltage there, you will want to check continuity of the element itself by probing the two wires with the meter set to it's continuity testing selection. If there are more than two wires you will need to determine which is the common wire and which are the "live" wires. With the power disconnected you can test the element to figure this out easily. For example if your heated seat has three wires, test all three for continuity in pairs. If one wire always shows continuity no matter which other wires on the same plug you touch that should be common.
If the element tests good (in other words you find that all the circuits show continuity) and you are getting power from the plug that comes from the vehicle itself, you might need to check the resistance of the element. It is rare to have a bad element that still shows continuity, but it is possible that the resistance may have for some reason become lowered and the element therefore does not heat up.
Try these and let me know how it goes!

Check the seat wiring harness below the seat and under the carpet. Water and moister will cause it to rust and break the wires or short them out. The windows and power seat require the use of a circuit breaker, this is recommended.

This is controlled through the body control module you will require a scan tool to access it.

Check wiring under the seat. Frequent habit of pushing things under the seat such as flashlights and tools etc and moving the seat forward and back sometimes pulls wires or breaks them.
