Seat heater - randomly turns on

Hello! The heater in the driver's seat has been randomly turning on - has been making me think these summer days are warmer than they actually are. I have swapped the driver's and passenger's seat heater switches and the problem remains - so I can rule out the switch in the center console.

I haven't been able to find an electrical diagram for the heated seats - anyone have one or can point me to the correctly place in the Bentley manual? Seeing as this randomly turns on from an off state, I'm guessing it is either a short between the switch and the relay or the relay is misbehaving. I've read about the heating element shorting out but I can't see how that would turn itself on - assuming there is a relay for this. I'd really like to fix this vs. simply disconnect it so any help is appreciated.
