1) Fuse under rear seat (unlikely since the seat works and the switch is lit)
2) Switch has gone bad (~$30 from BMA)
3) Heating elements are shorting out. This can happen from moisture corroding the element coils.
As usual, start from cheapest.
Also know that the switch is different on later cars.....make sure you get an early one.
Also check to make sure all of your wiring harnesses are securely plugged in under the seat.
