Default New 2001 SS member with bad seat heat, Help?

Just starting to look around here and hoping someone will help me out! My drivers heated seat does not warm up. The switch lights in both temp levels but no results. I found the two connectors under the seat, big one seems to handle movement and the smaller yellow one has no power that I can find. Am I correct assuming the small yellow one is the heat?
If not, which connector does and where is it, or, is it part of the 5 wire larger connector?
Any help would be greately appreciated! Thanx in advance.

Thanx, I saw that one but am not that far along yet!
I was hoping to check if any power was making it to the heat element connection under the seat before pulling the seat out.

Any leads as to where that is?
Thanx in advance!

I can almost guarantee that it's the heating element. They all go bad eventually from sitting on it all the time.

FYI - I found write up on grandprixforums.net that goes into a little more detail than my post. Not exactly the same as, but you get the idea.
