The most common cause of this problem is that the drivers seat heater grid is open or burned out. That is based on 25 years as a Ford dealer technician.
you have elements underneath the seat cover most likely the drivers bottom seat element is burned out, you can check the resistance of it with a on ohm meter there is a 2 wire connector that goes to the backrest and then a 2 wire connector that goes to the seat cushion, more likely its the seat bottom that is burnt out
look under the seat make sure the connection is good on the wire, they sometimes get caught when moving the seat back and forward. most likely its this.
the heating pad on the drivers side seat back probably has a hole burned in it,from wear and tear,normal gm issue,if you pull up the seat back cover and look at it you should see a small burn mark and when it does this is creates a open in the circuit,therefore the seat does not get warm,,,you must replace the heater pad its just glued on there,,first makes sure thats the one thats burnt but 80% of the time its that one,,you also got a heater pad in the seat bottom and 2 more on the passenger side seat,,,,that should help,,
this is a common problem if you use the seat heater alot.one or both of the seat heater elements will have burned up or broken.where i live it is very cold most of the time and i have replaced hundreds of the seat heater elements.it is rare for it not to be one or both of the elements.
