Back rest or base? Back rest is easier than the base. The seat base isn's so easy but it's doable at home if you have time.
Basically you have to strip of the leather cover to gain access to the elements.
It's definitely worth measuring the elements resistance before ripping the seat apart

I would. You'll struggle to get to the hog rings and clips if you don't take the seat out.

Relay, wiring or elements.

yes..does the relay control both seats or individual ones as the driver side works ok ? got a feeling its the elements so will have to bung the multi meter on the plug at the seat end to find out.

how do you check the relay then ? what does it even look like, all I can see under the seat is the amp and a connector with a cable going up into the seat. again thanks for any info.

The seat is held in by 4 very obvious Torx bolts. If you a struggling to work out how to remove the seat, then you'd best leave replacing the elements to the professionals.

A bonus to read this as I have the same problem with my passenger seat.

going to have a go at this when I come back from france next week, although I'm working in the dark information wise.
Didn't get a link to read.

Thanks for the heads up it made me go and look at mine today. I think I had the same problem as you so I took some pictures that might help others
In the first picture there is a black wire with a white end hanging down behind the largest white metal hoop, this was pushed through the circular hole in the seat base above it but it turned out it was not connected, once I pushed it back through and reconnected it the heated element fine, to stop it coming off again I put a cable tie round either end and one through the middle of both to prevent it coming off again.
