This thread is a walkthrough for repairing your broken heated seat in your 05+ Legacy or Outbacks.
Start out by removing the 4 seat bolts
Once you have taken all 4 bolts out, lift the front of the seat up and you will see all these connectors for the power seat and airbags:
Some plugs are tricky to get off, shown below is a particular airbag plug and how to get it off:
This plugs outer shell slides back and then it unplugs:
Next step is to take the seat out, be careful in this part as you can easily scratch your plastic.
Seat Removed:
Once removed, set the seat on a flat work surface and on the back of the seat take the screws out:

The left side is a bit more difficult:
In from the front there are plastic retaining screws:
One plastic screw in the middle:

On the front of the seat there is a plastic screw holding the front cloth cover:
