Strip the seat. Locate and bypass the burnt bit(s). Test. Refit :y

Or remove the fuse ::)

Presume the seats are mv6?

Can the leg extensions bit be looped out / disconnected and the wires in the seat re joined?

Do I recall some plugs on the leg extension bit?

You could well be correct... not gotten that involved with Omega seats tbh, but certainly stands to reason that the extensions would contain a circuit, er, extension ::)

Thinking about it, I'm sure there's an extra plug in the seat heater loom for that very reason, mentioned in the wiring diagrams too :y

I'd be wary just bridging the leg extension out, as the resistance of the seat circuit will be less than designed, and you could well burn out the rest of it fairly quickly.

The seat extension is fairly easy to strip, and get to the failed bit of element.
