For most issues with the heated seat in your 2005 Subaru Outback, start by inspecting the fuse located in the interior fuse panel to the left of the steering wheel in the dash's kick panel. If the problem isn't resolved with the fuse, other potential causes could be the seat heater switch, the seat heater unit itself, and occasionally, a failing thermistor that controls the temperature regulation. Another common issue with these seats is broken wiring, so be sure to also check for that.
One of the main reasons why the heated seats in a 2005 Subaru Outback may not be working is due to a seat fuse that has blown.
