Fixed broken seat track
So I just repaired the broken seat flange and put in the new washers for the sliding seat. All went well there. However when I installed the seat I noticed all the controls work except the front Up/down adjustment. I can hear it click, but it doesn't move. I never noticed if this was the case before the repair. I can live with this, but curious if this is a common switch issue.

Not sure if you have done this yet or not but the first thing I would look at is to make sure the connector is secure and pushed in all the way. If it is maybe check and make sure non of the pins have pushed out the back and not making contact within the connector. When I did my repairs I didn't have any issues with some things not working. Good luck with the fix if you decide to look into it further then what I suggested.
Guess I need to remember what I read...my bad. If the motor is clicking but not moving is sounds like it might be bad or just stuck.

If you hear "clicking" the switch is likely OK. Check the power lead to the motor. See that it's secure and measure voltage if need be. If the motor is not getting current, a relay in the seat control module may be bad.

Thanks for the replies. The clicking sounds like it's in the switch itself. At least the seat front is in the up position so it's not a real problem. I will get to checking it out eventually.

Well, I got around to this today. Took out seat and found a broken wire connector (blue) if that helps going into the module under the seat. I just jammed it back in there for now. Any way, after putting the seat back, the front up down adjustment did work. But, weirdly only if I'm not sitting on the seat. If I'm out of the car moving the switch, it works. I'm assuming this is the problem, or could it be something else. Is the wiring harness something that I can get a hold of to replace? Should have taken a pic. Anybody have the Schematic?
Thanks
