Talk about the 406's electrical system, what wires do what, how to add extra functionality, etc.

Drivers electric seat

Post by Pugman406 »

Hi guys

My drivers electric seat has stopped moving forward, moves every other way other than forward.

Has anyone come across this problem ?

Could be a number of things - the switch, the wiring, or a mechanical issue.

A few questions to help narrow it down:

1. Is there any motor noise or movement, even for a split second when you move the switch forward?
2. Does it move forward when recalling a memory setting?
3. Does it move when you 'help' it by pushing/pulling the seat?
