Issue with driver side seat cooling?

[Squiden]

I've had my 4S for about a month now, and this last week my driver side seat cooling stopped working - it used to work, but now when I push the button to turn on the fans, it briefly lights all 3 blue bars, then goes back to gray. The passenger seat still works, just the driver side fails to activate. Anyone experience this issue as well, or thoughts on what might be wrong? I'm sure it's an easy warranty fix it truly broken, but would prefer to avoid the 1 hour drive to the dealer if there is something simple causing it to trip back off.

The system of fans can be blocked by manufacturer stickers or by proximity to the floor if the seat is positioned toward its lowest settings; the fan overheats and goes open circuit - you can raise the seat and have a look underneath with a torch; sometimes the outer casing warps visually which'll be obvious when you see it.

Also for us Americans not used to British slang, don’t put this under your seat:

There's a wiring harness under the seat that can become loose.
Raise the seat to max and check underneath that the harness is fully connected and clipped in.

It’s less about the torch and more about you giving advice to a problem that was posted 6 years ago.
