If you hear both clicks from the under dash relay, then you can be certain that 
the under seat one is working correctly.

They're probably fine. If they weren't working you'd have almost no power, and 
the two left ones don't fire together, although they do share a common ground. 
If the ground connection was broken they would both fail. 

It's more likely that the muffler just made too much noise on the left side.
