Well, I was thinking that if the -entire- seat is dead, that means that
something else(ie, supply) is busted.

I did find the right connector with a little guesswork(mainly by looking at
the driver's seat, then looking at the passenger seat, and seeing what was
in BOTH seats.)  Wanted to avoid the hey-everybody-lets-blow-up-the-airbag
scenario.


The passenger side seat seems to work(I think all the parts are working,
but I'm not sure.)  I unplugged the green connector clipped to the metal of
the framework for the seat, and that killed the heat, so that's the right
connector.

BTW, there are several more wires; I think this is because of the sport
side bolsters(which are heated as well.)


<sigh>...I really don't feel like ripping the seat apart.  Anyone know any
good shops in the boston area that can do this?
