Dead Driver's Power Seat! - I need help
OK my power seat will not move forward using the switch. It will move back just not forward and the lumbar supports are dead as well. However, if I hit the memory button the seat will move forward to its proper position. So the motor is good as is the position sensor. I have already replaced the switch with a new one and I still have the problem. This is a major PIA if for some reason I have to valet the car or if my much shorter wife needs to drive the car (rare but sometimes). What do I replace next? :banghead:

I am at work and do not have access to my shop manuals. When I get home I will look at the problem and see if I can figure it out!

Thanks, I have the manuals as well but can't figure it out. I am not good when it comes to electrical componentry beyond a stereo or directly engine related. These darn seats are frickin computer controlled and I need an EE degree.

If you have replaced the switch and still have the probelm, then I would suspect the wiring connector to the switch. You might try checking the continuity of the wiring at the connector with a VOM for a pinched wire or such.. If the memory works, then the control module appears ok as well as the motors.

I know this sounds simple but the same thing happened to me and I did everything but the obvious after taking it to the dealer which I hate. It was the stinking fuse, labeled SCM in the passenger kick panel. Give it a try. :thumbs:
