Default Heated seat issue? FIXED!

Hey guys I have a 00 ram 1500 with heated leather seats. The truck has been been sitting since about April due to death wobble and tags expired. But have driven it around town to keep it running every now and then. Anyway I have had the problems in the past with the heated seat lights flashing and not heating up. But I have in the past taken the leather off the seats and found the broken wires in the heating elements and fixed them and the problem has always been fixed after. But now I went to use the truck today and the driver high and low works fine, but the passenger will only work on low. When I push the high button for the passenger it does nothing, no light up or flash. Doesn't matter if the low is on or off it won't switch over to high. So what would cause this. What can I look for for why high won't turn on?? Thanks guys

Grab the 01 service manual if you don't have it already..... have a look at wiring diagrams. Might even be some troubleshooting hints in there.

UPDATE!!! FIXED, I just took the switches out of the dash and took the passenger switch apart, looked fine but wiped the connections that the button pushes with my finger, put it all back together and it works fine now.
