alright i used a test light and found out that the motor is not getting power from the switch in that direction so im gonna tear the switch apart.
The recline function on my passenger seat only works in one direction the other direction seems like its not getting any power. What could be the problem, switch? motor?

I got it fixed and it works like new thanks guys.
On my driver seat when i lower or raise the seat, the right side doesnt go down or up. how would i go about fixing this ?
I also had some serious trouble today with my driver's side power seat. At first, only the left side would recline and move to the upright position. So, the back of the seat was effectively twisting.Originally Posted by riot
To further the problem, every time I reclined the seat, the right side would never go back upright at all. So, I eventually had to make a drive with the seat back entirely reclined and used my briefcase as a wedge for *some* support. I felt like I was driving a beat-up Chevy with the muffler draggin' behind me.
Funny thing, once I stopped and restarted the engine, the right and left seatback started moving together.. kinda. But, then only the left side would raise and lower and not the right. Ugh.
I'll try cleaning the switch tonight. I'll let everyone know what happens.
Oh my contorted spine!!!

The twist or tilt on one side only is a completely separate issue from the switch cleaning. A very common problem and somewhat simple DIY:
