Troubleshooting Your Power Seat
There could be a variety of reasons your seat won't move:
flashlight, if needed).
* Turn on the
ignition, but not the engine. Try seat switch again and listen if power seat motor makes any sound.
* If it's silent, remove the power seat switch from the side of the seat.
* With the help of a
test light (used to determine presence of electric voltage), you should check for incoming voltage at the switch.
* If there is no voltage, take a look at the wiring between the fuse panel and the switch, there may be a short-circuit.
* You'll then need to test the power seat relay between the switch and the motor, if there is one.
* Make sure relay is adequately grounded first.
* Check to see if relay is getting voltage from the switch.
* Then using test light again, check to see if voltage is going from the relay to the motor.
* If one of these voltages cannot be detected, examine that wiring for a short-circuit.
* If there is a lack of outgoing voltage, then the relay likely needs to be replaced.
