I was working on the blower motor and must have been hitting the seat switch with my body. When I got up it was in full recline. I checked power to the motor at the switch and it was good.I ended up taking the whole seat apart because we are leaving on a trip today and I had to get it back up. I was able to use a jump box to put power and ground to the recline motor and get it to come back up on it's own.reversing the two leads made the motor move back to recline. So at this point I know the motor works. I used a meter to check voltage at the motor with the switch pressed. In recline it had 12.1 volts but going back up the switch only gave it 8.9-9.5 volts. I checked resistance across the switch for this function and got 405 ohms. Is this correct resistance? My gut tells me its a bad switch but I'd like to make sure before getting a $120 part to try.

 

i am voting on a bad switch.

 

It should be zero...bad switch. You might've damaged it when leaning on it.

 

Same problem...the seat got stuck in recline position. However, I replaced the entire seat track from a Navigator from the salvage yard and the recline still didn't work....all other buttons did. I also removed the drivers side switch and connected to the passenger side and still everything worked except recline. Any thoughts?
