Default Drivers seat wont operate

I have a 2001 coup with the 6 way power Adj. sport seats. The drivers seat will not operate when you sit in it. It will operate with the key fob or the controls on the side of the seat as long as you are not sitting in it. Any ideas? thanks

The SCM is hanging on the underside of the seat itself. Depending on many possible factors, there could be wires being crushed, connectors not plugged in all the way and so on. I would start with the two connectors that connect the seat to the car. Past that, pull the seat and look for anything mechanically jamming the seat when weight is placed on it. Make sure the manual seat switch connectors are still plugged in all the way too.

Poor connection would be my choice too. Only way to know for sure it to get the seat out and look.
