Power driver seat not working

Both heater indicator lights don't work. Both fuses ddm and pdm look good. Image Click to enlarge. The fuse on the right. What side is that from? And the heater indicators from the passenger side don't work either? I'll check the wiring in between the door and under the seat in a little bit. I'll update you once I check.

Thanks Was this answer. The right one was from the driver ddm. Correct passenger side indicator not working. Interesting, that fuse with its darkened color looks a bit overheated. Surprising since that side is not working, let me know if you find anything having to do with the wiring in the door boot or under the driver seat. Also check this Ground. It's on the driver side under the dash.

Black wire G Hi, The heated seats and power seats circuits are separate. So, let's start with the seat movement. First, I attached the wiring schematic below for the driver's seat. Note that power is provided via a circuit breaker located in the instrument panel fuse box driver's side. Here is what we need to do is first. Disconnect the connector at the seat switch. Locate the red wire in the harness and using a test light or a voltmeter and confirm there is 12v power to the switch.

Take care, Joe See pics below. Please note: The climate-controlled seats may require that we scan the can-bus system to see if there is an issue with the climate control module. We will cross that bridge when we reach it. Okay, I'll check the switch power tomorrow.

I'll update you when I do. Hello, did you have a chance to do any testing? I was informed that the drivers door modules go bad in these all the time.

This is fed by DDM Fuse. Also, I noticed my pedal adjustment button also doesn't work. I also hear clicks under the steering wheel in dash. Could this be the module making noise?

Lights, doors, etc. I have a MB S The driver seat raises up and down but will not stay in a raised position. As soon as I sit in the seat it collapse to the lowest level position.

If I raise ir with manual assistance and get it to its highest level it will stay in place as long as I sit in the seat gingerly. Krissi: Sometimes you can get away with installing slightly larger retaining screws if the original ones are stripped out.

You can also stop by an auto upholstery shop, they can usually come up with a quick fix on the cheap. I have a grand carvan. Dtiver seat goes back but when trying to go forward only goes a little then stops.

Also when going back it feels like seat is going a little side ways. Hi Linda: It will need some diagnosis. However, the most common problem would be a binding seat track. Things can get down in there, like debris or coins and cause this issue.

Also power seat motor and seat transmission issues can cause the same complaints. The other functions of the seat work, the switch works, nothing is in the tracks all wires are connected, the passenger seat is fully functional. First I would test for power and a good ground coming in and then going out of the switch when activated to run the seat back.

Next I would check for the same at the power seat motor. Jamming of the track is the most common issue, but it is also possible to have a failed motor. I have a oldsmobile alero and the seat will only move in the forward position it will not go back or up or down although it seems like it tries it just dont! Attached to the underside of the seat are 3 motors which control back and forward motion, up and down seat movement, and lumbar support.

We were unable to determine why these motors were no longer working properly. My only concern was to get the seat to move BACK instead of forward. We identified the motor which controlled that motion and noted there were two wires — green and tan — running to it. We spliced into those wires and switched them: the green wire now ran into the connector thru the tan side, and vice versa.

This switch caused the seat to move backward when the power button was pushed to the forward position. However, we found that if the seat were back too far, we were unable to re-bolt the seat to the floor. Now I can move the seat back or forward by reaching down to those extended wires and switching them as needed.

I have an 05 Dodge caravan. Make sure the relay is properly grounded. Remove or move the seat to the side if possible for this test. If one of the voltages is not present, check that part of the wire for an open or short. If there is no outgoing voltage, test the relay for proper operation and replace it if necessary.

Check for incoming voltage at the failed motor or motors using a test light. If there is no incoming voltage, test the wire or wires for continuity between the motor and switch or relay, looking for an open or a short. Unplug the failed motor and test it outside, connecting the motor to the car battery using two jumper wires.

If the motor still does not operate, replace it. Inspect the drive assembly-transmission, gears and tracks-and make sure the mechanism is in good condition. Make repairs as necessary. Since Dan Ferrell has contributed general and consumer-oriented news to television and the Web.

Step 2 Inspect the fuse or circuit breaker if both front power seats fail to operate.
