Default Another seat problem... Not the rocking one

I can't seem to find the right answer for my problem in the search section. Both driver and passenger seat are doing the same thing. Here goes. They will go forward and backward but I can't get them to raise the front or back. With the power switch on the side I can only get it to go forward and backward. Nothing when I lift up or push down on the button. Replaced switch on passenger side but did not help.

Any suggestions? Need help..

Bob

Since you ruled out the switch on the passenger side, i would check all wiring connections. Up/down is controlled by 2 different motors separate from forward /back. At least on the driver's side there is also some sort of control unit (power supply?) that wiring to the motors comes from. Not sure if passenger seat has one of these boxes. Odd that both seats have same issue. Wiring harness from floor that feeds the seat doesn't have many wires in it (mine has 5) so i would think there wouldn't be a separate fuse for up/down but there could be. Good luck.
