Solved: Both heated seats out (and cig lighter) after ABS work

I just repaired the Three Amigos shuttle valve problem and replaced the seals with the kit from Falconworks. Now both heated seats don’t work. No button lights on both sides or warm seats. Both fuses are intact. The seat warmers worked great up until this point.

I also just figured out the cigarette lighter is out too. Swapped multiple relays with Relay 7 under hood box but still no go.

I know it must be farther upstream than the individual seats since they both went out at the same time, so I’m guessing a circuit problem. Any suggestions for where to look?

Solution: Fuse 15, the 20 amp cigarette lighter fuse under the driver side in the fuse compartment, was blown. Swappd that out and both the cigarette lighter and heated seats now work!

Your story reminds me of the tire rotation job l did once for a lady. It's raining cats and dogs the next day and she comes in complaining her wipers don't work, anymore. Says they went out after my work. I'm like...really?...that's weird...it hasn't rained in two weeks...so, how do you know they were working before l did the tire rotation...or...have you ever heard of the term...coincidence...or do you understand that the tires have nothing to do with the operation of your wipers?

Yes, l DO NOT miss working for the general public anymore...
