I am betting the switch because it is all the way back and if you hit back on the switch can hear a click from the motor trying to go back but forward....nothing nada.

Until I fix this good thing it has adjustable pedals! Wheel kinda far away though

 

Man I think I went through the same thing and ended up being a fuse. It was something simple like that I rode around with my seat back for a year haha. Look in the manual for any fuse or relay related.

 

Here you go found this.

Every now and again my driver side power seat will not move either. This is what I found. After spending half an hour checking fuses,wires,motors and what not I said hey dipstick, see what the owners manual says about power seats. Sure enough deep within the seat section, it states that if the power seat doesnt't work, put the seat back section of the seat down to it's lowest position a couple of times. This somehow resets the body module for the driver seat. Weird but it has worked several times for me. I just have to remember to do this, before I go into full on trouble shooting mode again.

Very odd but I will try it


EDIT in manual that is to reset a memory seat

 

I know, it is odd... But in that thread other people chimed in that it worked for them also...

Can't hurt to try.
Good luck!

 

Mine did that, but on the passenger seat. I cleaned the metal contacts in the switches. You'll need to pull it off the side molding and clean it.

 

Cleaned switch like new

 

Good find, reps sent!

 

I just had this problem and I ended up finding a loose connector under the seat. Glad it was a cheap fix... the second one in the last year after I found a broken wire in a back door wiring bundle which happened to effect the electric window as if it was a motor. I also freely fixed my compass and "miles to empty" display with some (albeit poor) soldering skillz.

So my list:

• Listen for sounds when you press a button
• Reset seat by folding/raising seat numerous times.
• Press the "1" or "2" seat memory buttons if you have them
• Check fuses
• Remove side panel carefully and look for bad wires, connectors, toys, snakes, money
• Check switch (pricey/aftermarket)
• Check motor (used motors available online, they rebuild them)
• Check control module(s)
• Remove seat and check gears, grounds, everything else
