Default Power Seats

I'm still having trouble getting the seats to work and I've checked these things:

Heated seat fuse is in place and good
Battery is working and good
After checking the wiring diagram, the power is router through the same line as power windows, and my power windows work so the problem must be between that and the switch.

The harnesses are plugged in, and when trying to the switches with the ACC on, I get nothing.

Any ideas of where I can look for more problems?

"...and when trying to the switches with the ACC on, I get nothing."

I don't know what that means.

Movement of the seats, and what I meant to say was:

"and when trying the switches (referring to the power seat switch) with the ACC (Accessory in the ignition) on, I get nothing (no movement)"



I think the problem is between the two W's where it say's 4J, since the power windows work and both seats power don't work. Any ideas what it is or where to find it?

After taking the seats out though, I was able to hear a little noise in the motors while pressing the switch, so I believe they are getting a connection.

But if I hold the switch there is no constant noise from the motor, like when a window motor breaks. I just hear an initial click from the motors when I flip the switch and thats all.

Is it possible that the seat motors in both seats have broken? It sounds very unlikely, but the car was sitting not being used for 1 year+

sounds like to me that its the switches.

mine did the same thing.. but only on the drivers side. replaced it and it worked liked a charm!

or you can try some electric parts cleaner first and spray some in the switches.
