So I believe that the cables are snapped off. That's why it's switching off.
Have no time to investigate to be honest.

Have this issue with the drivers seat in my 2010 Elite but the passenger seat is fine. Believe there was a sort of recall for a while for some as there was an issue with wiring being too short or something like that but it only lasted so long and if you contact Vauxhall about it now they want nothing to do with it.
Think the fix is to buy the replacement pads and wiring then strip the seat down to replace them. I've not bothered as really cant be bothered to take the job on. I did consider having a look for a replacement seat at a scrapyard at one point but never went any further with it.

There was a lad who stripped of the driver seat and found that the wires were snapped off on the side of the seat where the controller buttons are. He simply used solder so attach the wires and the problem was solved .

Same deal with mine, drivers seat only, 20 seconds no heat switches off.
I took the seat back off, following some info I found at the Enthusiasts forum and YouTube but couldn't see any obvious break in cables. It was a fiddly process but easy enough if you take your time.
Luckily my car still has a warranty who have agreed the repair, my local Arnold Clark are doing it, £95 for the heater mat, £4.60 for replacement hog rings, £103 for 1.2hrs labour (!)

My understanding is that the issue is with the electrical connector plug on the heat pad. This is why the pad had to be changed. It wasn't the pad at fault just the connector block, so its possible to get it working again without replacing any parts, just redo or bypass wiring to plug. Common fault especially on older cars.
