I've owned a 1998 and now a 1999 Eddie Bauer Expedition. Both have had drivers heated seat go out. What happens is the wire breaks due to being sat on many, many times over the years (which is why the passenger side lasts longer - it's not sat on nearly as much). It is a simple fix really. Once you're able to get the bottom seat out (which is another question to post here), take the leather cover off and you'll see the small burn right away where the wires broke. Solder them back together, wrap with electrical tape and you're good to go.

How do you troubleshoot 1999 expedition heated seats?

Does the light come on, when switched on? Most likely, a relay is at fault. If one seat works, and the other one doesn't, switch relays, and see if the problem moves. Next suspect would be an open circut possible. Check continuity of elements.
