Raise the drivers seat up as far as you can and then open the back door and get down and look up under the seat. Lots of wires and such but in the middle of the seat bottom there is a 2" hole in the foam rubber that has two wires that go up into the hole. One of the wires is Red don't remember the other (red/white maybe), those wires connect to the thermostat, one common failure is the red wire breaks off the connector on the thermostat. You can work your fingers up in the hole and pull down the plastic holder that houses the thermostat, once out you can repair the connection. When putting the connections back on the thermostat wrap them with electricial tape so they don't touch. If your wires are OK check the thermostat to see if it's open (electrically) if it is, put it into the ice box for 10-15 minutes to see if the temp drop will make the thermostat close, if that doesn't work you need a new thermostat. The wire is normally the problem.
