The driver side heated seat won't work. The passenger side works fine. Is this a $$electrical problem or could it be a fuse? I am moving and my owners manual is packed away. Thanks!

Get your owners manual, look in the index for "Fuses" and go to that page, read the list of fuses, and what circuit they protect. If one of them says "Heated Seats" then yes, they're on a fuse. As previously answered, everything electrical on a car has some type of protection on it, however, if the seats have a very high load, they may be on a fusible link, or circuit breaker, not a fuse. If it's a circuit breaker you can plug in a new one, if it's a fusible link, I wouldn't recommend that someone without electrical experience try to repair or change it.

might be a fuse but I believe they are on the same fuse. so if one is out and the other isn't, there is more too it.
most heated seats are prone to wire shorts cause the wires to begin with that do the heating are so thin. normally they break on the edges of where you get in and out from all the wear and tear on that section.
any Lexus service department should be able to check it within a few minutes to see if its a fuse or more to it. if just a fuse, a porter could have it installed and you can be back on your way.

Yes , all electrical wiring in a car has a fuse. If you take the cover of the fuse box off, you can look , and most have a guide to what the fuse protects. Hope this helps!

Take a look at your fuse box and see if there is a fuse labled Heated seat or something that sounds close to it. Or you can just dig out the manual anyway and take a look.

Every electrical circuit has a fuse. It should be in the fuse block with the other fuses.
