The heating elements in the seat probably need to be replaced. I would contact a dealership close to you. Many Honda's came with heated seats as an option in Canada (unlike U.S.) and you can probably find a replacement.

Have you checked the wiring?

You can rule out #1 if you can see the wire connector attached to the seat.

For #2, you would have to search for a hole in the carpet under the seat. You may have to take apart your entire carpeting if you cannot find the other ends of the wires. Or trace the wire from the switch to the seat if possible.

Also, see if you can get your hands on a Helm's manual. I know for the 5thgen, the Canadian counterparts are listed in there. So I am assuming that the 4thgen Helm's may be the same.

leaning towards a heater element problem and not wiring because it worked fine for a while and slowly one by one stopped working. but a double check of all the connections is next on the to do list. thanks
