Heated seats dont work what to look for? - 2001 Buick Regal

If the buttons light up when you turn them on then the fuse is good.What usually happens is the element of the heater part burns or break and the heater will not work.This is a 2 part heater.One for the back and one for the bottom.If one goes neither of them will work.You have to ohm both to see which one is bad and replace it.Usually the bottom because it takes the most abuse.If the light does not come on then check the fuses and check connections under the seat.Good luck.

I would look at the fuse first and see if it is still in tact.
Your 2001 Regal has two fuse panels. The heated seats are on Fuse #3 of the fuse panel in the engine compartment. It's located on the passenger side under the hood.
