I found this odd, but yesterday I noticed that the dial for my drivers seat heater and cooler no longer lights up. I stopped the vehicle and turned everything off and turned on the cooler and I dont even hear the fan. Passenger side is fine... Vehicle is in the last year of a 4 year lease....is this covered? Could it be a fuse?
Light for seat heater cooler not working

This happened to me last year. It was working and right before turned car off I turned it off. When I returned an hour later tried to turn it on and it wouldnt work. Brought it into Nissan and they had to replace the heated/ventilated seat module.
Not sure the cost as it was under warranty. I believe that stuff is covered under the 3 year / 60,000 mile warranty.

I've never leased a car so I'm not familiar with the specifics but I was under the impression that any equipment that fails not at fault of yours is covered?
Obviously door dents and dings aren't covered as well as any damage you cause by being negligent or making modifications. But in this case, why would you be on the hook upon return? Seems to me like a component just failed...

For the most part at lease end they take a good look at tires body and interior. You could probably drive a vehicle for 4 years and do 3 oil changes and they could care less. I have never been asked to see service receipts in 30 years of leasing.
I will take it in as I have a recall notice and see how much they want to fix it but I doubt with less than a year left I will pay for it as the cooler and the heater are hardly noticeable in this particular vehicle and a source of much frustration and no real fix from Nissan over the last 3 years.

Just an update... It has been about 3 weeks that the seat does not work nor the light...Yesterday I was driving and low and behold the light was on...at first I thought maybe it is just a reflection form the sun but no, it was definately on and I shut everything off and could hear the fan running. That is just weird.
Mine recently did the same thing. It first started having a problem by moving the seat. The problem was 2 melted connectors to the climate controlled seat module. The dealer replaced the the module, harness to the module and the blower under warranty. I would guess easy $1000.00 if it was out of warranty.

Before checking the fuse, run the seat all the way forward and as high as it can go. From the back seat floor, look at the seat module and wiring. If you see any burned connectors or bare wires, you'll need to resolve those issues first.
If everything looks good, replace the fuse and see if the problem persists. If it doesn't, then you'll probably need to replace the heating/cooling module. First be sure to check the functionality of the switch, using a voltmeter at the seat plug, unplugged from the unit, with a good fuse in place.
If you use the exit back function when shutting off the car, you more than likely have a bare wire from rubbing as the seat goes back and forth. OEM wiring under the seat was not secured properly to prevent this from happening over the long run while using this function.
Good luck.
Have a good day.
