5K Hot Seat

Thanks for the ideas.  Guess I wasn't clear, this is the rear passenger
seat (right most) in a 5K Wagon (Avant).

The idea of a stuck heater sounds good, but there is none for the rear
seat, at least that I have ever found.  Where would the controls for the
rear pass seat be?  Also when I pulled the cushion to look underneath
did not see any connection that would likely be for a heater.  Could the
rear seat have a heater that is somehow not getting juice?  Seems
unlikely but hey...

Thought of the Bat too, but I saw no signs of sparking or electrical
contact near the battery posts, and the bat and all it's connections
were cool while the seat was warm.

I think the next step here is to localize the heat.  If I can determin
the location, then perhaps I can take a guess as to which wires should
be unplugged and move on  from there...

No reports of a seat belt switch shorting into flames???
