OK i found the POwer seat diagram all you have to do is leave the switch connected because it has the ground source on it and all you do is apply power to pin #4 which is green and that bring it up...just make sure you have power coming in from PIN #1 Red wire...OHH BTW power is supplied thru the Body control module and there is no seperate FUSE>>>

 

Dude... After having the worse car wash possible, i had the same exact problem but total opposite. My seat went back, but when i pulled it forward it wouldn't go back again. So i had to drive around like my 70 year old grandpa with the seat hitched up for a while till i really got fed up with it. i wiggled and jiggled the wires under the seat and haven't had a problem since.

 

Try the electrical contact cleaner...it really worked!

 

Option A: Join a gang..
Option B: Take it to the dealer and have them fix it under warranty.

 

having same problem now, have dismantled switch, need small thin rachet with phillps head sockets to reach two screws facing console, bought at pep boys and a lot of patience in unsnapping the switch housing which has several components snap locked together. I did this in place and wonder if not easier if I had taken seat out. Switch harness is locked inplace with clip so not much slack in wire to work with when working inplace.

Problem is that the exposed push/pull lever switch is only first of series of movements that must function to engage the electrical connection. Below the exposed push/pull lever is a secondary sliding switch which is operated by small arms of the exposed push/pull switch. These arms do not seem to be pushing the sliding switch far enough into position( the rear recline or pull back works but the forward position will not) This is because the secondary switch has two small sliding switches housed within the one switch. It may be that the receiving end nodes on the small sliding switch are worn which pushes the sliding mechanism to make the connection . When dismantled, operation of the recline back or forward small switches is easily done with the finger which is what I have done. Dismantle, move back of seat way forward , assemble, get in and start moving set back a little at a time, cautious not to go back to far (this small sliding secondary switch seems to small to work on but seems to be able to be taken apart ).

Probably took two hours the first time but after getting right rachet tool and knowing how two use two small screw drivers a once to unsnap the switch housing, it has become easier.

Just priced switch with harness $70.00.
Probably worth it cause it is a headache to dismantle inplace and probably easier to take seat out to replace. Go to DIY to find this proceedure

 

My driver power-seat stopped reclining forward and the dealership replaced the motor in the seat for $800 and 3 days of my time. Thank god I have an extended warranty.

 

I havent had any luck yet with my seat.

 

I'm having this problem on both seats right now. I guess I'll try the spray if then replace the switches.

 

just buy manual seat!!!
MY seat will never go down!!!

 

Have you been ridin' dirty?

 

Found the spray at Home Depot. Couple of sprays on the switches and no more gangsta lean.

 

You need to Ghost Ride the whip

 

This is my favorite thread here. no ghost whipping or i'll post the whistle.

 

If the seat would lean back all the way, I'd have a girl driving n riding ;x

 

I'm thankful I have my non-power seats in my track Z right about now ...just one less thing that can malfunction.
