After the detail shop moved my seat all the way back, it stopped moving. But unlike most threads here about "stuck seat", the switches don't cause any motors to click/thunk/run. Pushing forward, up, or down, or tilting the seat, elicits no motor attempt.

I'm guessing some cable/connection came loose under the seat. Anyone have any suggestions where to start? There is *quite* the rats nest of wires and relays under the driver's seat.

 

 

Yup. Swapped with passenger seat to double check. No dice, still no motor power. Guess I have to go looking under?

Are the two sets of switches (fore/aft/up/down and tilt) separate inside?

 

 

Cool. Will check into it.

 

If u can not see or feel a blockage?
were they removed?
All bolts in place? So seat situated properly?

Push switch to bring seat down so base is flat
No power?
Pull apart power switch Gently.
Located Under Seat
Spray switch with electronic contact / connection cleaner
Couple other bits there..need a schematic to answer
But there is a long skinny cable that can become loose or break.
If broken cable seat will pull to one side.
Check if the cable ends are tight. Or open to inspect.
its near front. Beneath knees..say 8 inches long
Hope this helps

Ps...make seat base flat

 

You've probably tried this permutation of motion, but if you have not, try gently rocking seatback right and left while depressing the switch to move seat forward.

 

I was cleaning my car once and operating both seat switches at the same time blew the fuse. I know you've already checked it but maybe have another look as it seems like a very likely explanation.

 

My assumption is that if the seat buttons are not generating any motor movement, and I'm not hearing any seizing of motors, this isn't going to help. Also, I totally tried this for a full five minutes
