Driver side heated seat doesn’t work

[ColbyLang]

2021 4 door OuterBanks 2.7

driver side seat heater doesn’t work. Three indicator lights show up on instrument panel.
Passenger side works fine. I visually inspected the SCME connection (I think that’s what I looked at directly mounted under the passenger seat) and noticed no burnt connections. Any help is greatly appreciated as my wife is tired of her butt being cold lol

Probably has a damaged heater grid. But without doing some circuit testing, it could be a handful of different things.
Any codes set?

unsure by what you’re asking with any codes set. This is a factory Bronco. No Forscan or any type of programmer.

Codes, like diagnostic trouble codes. Do you have any way to check for codes?

Would the free Auto Zone scanner pick any diagnostic discrepancies up? Otherwise I’m headed to the stealership with it.

I have the same situation.
Seat quit heating after about a year. (now over 4 yrs old)
Light comes on showing it is on, no DTC's, no sign of any damage to the connector, connector on the back of the switch is solid.
Oddly enough at very rare and sporadic times it starts to heat then stops again after a few minutes.
It feels like an intermittent grounding issue almost to me.
I was about to order a new grid but now wonder what exactly is going on.
Dealer service center was of no help the 2 times I brought it up while under warranty "Seems to be working to us". And I am for sure not going to now pay diag. fees and labor/parts out of pocket for an issue brought up 2X while covered.
I have tried to look for wiring diagrams to tell me which wires in the connector I should be seeing voltage to test it but to no avail yet. And honestly I just quit looking.
There is a bunch of wires going to that connector for non-powered movement seats!

It might, I’m not sure. Depends which modules it can scan
