    Default Power Seat Switch

    Today while cleaning my car, i noticed my electronic seat adjuster thing didn't work, which is really bad since the day b4 i moved it all the way back b/c i vaccumed it out. Any info on this problem. Maybe it shorted out or something b/c when i tried to move it, it seemed like the lights kinda went dim and then went back to normal. Need some info on it b4 i get to messing around.


    Thanks,

    Is it just the forward/back adjustment, or the whole switch? Check your fuses. Its possible that your switch may have fried itself.

    as far as i can remember, i didnt hear any noise. my side panel on the seat is kind of warn and is loose, so i can easily reach the switch. When i tried to take a closer look at the switch, it seemed kinda loose, so im suspecting it might be unplugged maybe?

    Default might be the fuse

    or check the plug to the seat harness, maybe you knocked it loose

    Default You've blown the fuse under the back seat.

    Remove the seat bottom, and the fuse in question will be near the center of the car, beyond the keyless entry module. It's a 30Amp fuse, green in color.

    Been there, done that. I can replace the fuse in about 20 seconds by feel with just the left side of the seat popped up (hate to remove the carseat just to replace a fuse!)
