Its a common fault, the heater pads pack up. If you have cloth seats the pads can be changed, if they are leather the pads a sewn to the leather.

I'm sure though that you can put the heater pads intended for the fabric seats in a leather trimmed car. It just might take a little longer for the heat to hit the spot!

Preface lift. Remove the seat from the car, remove the seat cover from the base & have a look for signs of burning. I managed a repair to my driver's seat by cutting out the burnt out bit of heater element& resoldering.
Or just put another seperate pad in, under the leather cover.
