Exclamation HELP - Driver's Side Seat Controls

Hello you big group of brain cells exploding with knowledge just dying to let some information out... I am no brain surgeon but let me see if I can release some of the pressure before something bad happens...

I don't know when this may have quit working, but Sunday I noticed that my driver's side seat controls do not work, no forward, back, up, down, tilt, vibrate, etc. The heater does work and works quite well, I am able to cook a plump rump roast in a mere 12.2 miles.

What I have checked thus far...
  • Fuse 15 / Driver's seat module memory ...NO JOY!
  • Fuse 112 / Left-hand power seats ...NO JOY!!
  • Fuse 114 / Right-hand power seats ...NO JOY!!!
    this was just in case I didn't know if I should be sitting or standing in front of looking at... hehe
All Fuses were alive and well and I add that I was accompanied by the trusty Beer Alignment Tool, so it was not just my one lone brain cell bouncing around in my head.

Did I miss something in the manual for something else to check?

Could the controls have come unplugged?

I can check that but I do not know when they would have come un-done. I haven't done anything under the seat that I remember and I haven't taken my pet armadillo anywhere for months...

I will get with the Beer Alignment Tool and check that when I get home...

Cool That's a lot of frickin' plugs...

Nope, check all the plugs, all are plugged in. Double checked the fuses and tested those three again to make sure I checked the correct ones the first time.

Once something happened to me like that except it would only go backwards, I checked all the fuses etc, but they were good. Left it like that for over a year and finally got sick of it. Took my seat off checked everything tested all I could, I was pissed. Anyway I double checked and some fuse of relay was bad that I somehow missed. Sorry I don't remember what it was but double check everything related and maybe it's something simple.

Do you have the seat memory switch in the door? If so, and it also does not work, try unplugging the plug under the seat and plugging it back in after a few minutes. This will "reset" (no pun intended) the controls. This happened to mine after it had some bodywork done on that side. It also affected the adjustable pedals. Hope this solves your problem!
