if in doubt compare the results with the other seat as that works.

There is also an extra 2 wires which go into the seat base to a thermistor. This resembles a button battery, however its simply a device which tells the relays to switch off when the seat is warm enough (for safety). The two cables are attached top and bottom to this little device. I think (from memory) that when cold it should read around 15 ohms (could be kohms, cant quite remember). If you cant get a resistance from this, then I would bet that its almost definite that the two wires have broke free from this unit (its right under your arse so it constantly gets flexed). Now, if your quick and dont apply too much heat, you can reattach the cables to this and it should be fine (take the bottom seat cover off, and follow the cables).
Of course, it could just be the relays!

I was experimenting using elements from other cars, but sold my car before I could put it into practice (was a mk2). I will probably have to do the same with my heated seats on my mk1 but Im a long way off that at the moment!
Yep a multimeter has the two prongs. Very useful little thing once you know how to use them, especially problem solving car electrics! Get a cheap one and have a play with it.
