Passenger side heated seat is out on a 2003 vw jetta The fuses are good there anything else i can try before taking it to the shop?

1. Check the wiring and connections related to the heated seat. Look for any loose, damaged, or corroded wires under the seat and around the heating element. Make sure all the connections are secure and properly seated.

2. Examine the heating element itself for any visible signs of damage or burnout. If the heating element is visibly broken, it will need to be replaced.

3. Inspect the seat control switch that operates the heated seat. Make sure the switch is functioning properly and that there are no issues with the electrical connection to the switch.

4. Test the temperature sensor associated with the heated seat to ensure it's functioning correctly. A faulty temperature sensor can prevent the heated seat from turning on.

5. If you have access to a multimeter, you can perform some basic electrical checks to diagnose the problem. Test the voltage at different points in the heated seat circuit, including the power supply, the heating element, and the control switch.

If you are not comfortable performing these checks and troubleshooting steps, it's best to take the vehicle to a professional automotive technician or a qualified auto electrical specialist for further diagnosis and repair.
