My passenger seat works fine but yesterday I noticed that the heater button will light up for a minute or two and then turn off. When I attempt to turn it back on, the light quickly blinks on then off for both the heat and cool. Anyone else experience this? I really don't wanna rip my seat apart.

My 07' EB has failed like this twice. I'm waiting to get it fixed again, but right now I don't want to pay the $100 deductible just for that.

I can't recall what year they corrected the ground issue in (was either '10 or '11), but this is worth checking:
Even after that though these seats tend to short out at the relay and/or the relay short fries the control module. Bottom line: check all the wiring and relays before moving on to the more expensive stuff.

Funny, I found that video after posting. I checked and my plug is fine.
