My '93 has one good seat heater (the passenger side of course) and
one bad.
Symptoms are that the lights on the switch will flash very briefly
when the switch is pressed, and then remain off. Switch and relays
have been checked and are considered good (by my mechanic).
So it sounds like the
I would find the electrical connection to the seat and measure the
resistance. This will give a clue if the heating element is bad. The enxt
thing could be a bad wire/connection. Again, measure the resistance of the
wire loop.

So it sounds like the problem is probably in the seat itself.
First, is this a reasonable conclusion?
Yes, given the harsh environment the seat heater lives in.
Second, what could be wrong (bad heating element in the seat?),
and what's the process of repairing?
Remove seat, remove
Check your charging system, that is what they do when the charging
system is not charging like its supposed to. They do that to tell you

figured out the alternator was not charging.

in the TFM about seat and rear window heaters.)

Thanks Jim,
In the 124 the relays are under the rear seat.
With regard to the seat heating elements -- are they separate from
the seat covers? How difficult is it to remove the seat cover?
Thanks!
