Default Power Seat Switches

Where can I buy the power seat switch for passenger side 2004. I believe it comes with the power seat controls and the lumbar switches all in one. Thanks

You might try to contact Gene Culley on the forum. He has great prices and service.

Funny you should bring this up. I just bought one on E Bay ($65.00) and it was a piece of crap! The original acts like one of the buttons is stuck for lumbar support. The one I purchased from E Bay only works for moving the seat fore and aft. I will try E Bay again but will only use guys with a reputation and in good standings. This was my first bad experience. You can get them around $100.
I am going to play a bit more with the 2 I have now.
Also, I assume you have swapped controllers to make sure that is the problem. Right?

Thanks for the info, one of the members said to contact Gene as I did above, I just want to know where to get one for now. I was hoping that it is the switch and not the module, as they work for a few seconds until I use the bolster switch. I haven't tried to switch the drivers side for a test, I haven't pulled it apart yet to see if they are the same, do you know. Thanks

They are physically the same. I am pretty sure they are interchangeable. I swapped the drivers side over to my passenger side and everything worked, thats how I found out for sure it was the switchbox.

Gene at gmpartshouse is a good choice for new. If you want used, try the used parts vendor listed on the left of the screen towards the bottom.

Default Switch

I did contact Gene, but will probably have to reply to him again, today I took out both of my seats and removed the switches, I took out the switch from the drivers side which is working fine, and put the switch on the passenger side, and I get the same problem, the power seat works fine and the when I use the lumbar controls, the motor fills up the lumbars and when you turn the switch to empty them, there is no motor control but you can see the lumbars going down and after a few tries all three switches (upper and lower lumbar and bolster) completely stop and won't work. You have to wait for a few hours for them to work again. So I think it is fair to say the switch isn't the problem as I put it back in the drivers seat and the motors work in both direction on the three switches. Someone told me that the most likely problem is the relay module. I can't switch drivers to passenger side as they are not the same. Any other ideas before I have to buy a relay?? Thanks
