Yeah, they get squashed after a while ... Try testing with a multimeter to see if current is getting to the pads?

Yep, my passenger side works fine and drivers side takes about half an hour to work. I love surprising people with it

They set fire to orphanages and drown kittens.

There is a thermal cutout/cutin in the seat that is the main control, although some cars have switches aswell. These can go faulty aswell as the matrix, the matrix can also get bunched up at the back of the seat. If you want a replacement try a scrap 940, they seem to be more reliable except for the switches.
