Default Power Seat Problem

I have 4 way power seats (not the expensive 8 way power seats with lumbar support)...

The motor to adjust the front of the seat (nearest the pedals) doesn't seem to be working - i can hear a faint click but no whirring sound or vibration indicating the motor's working. The rear seat adjustment (moves the seat under your butt up or down) is working, although slowly.

Fuse is okay, did a search and didn't find anything like this - could it be the driveshaft?

Thanks for any ideas

sometimes it comes off track.

Default Blown seat fuse

My passenger seat keeps blowing its fuse. Ill repalce it and it will work fine for a while-the puff.

JasonAndreas gave me this post last year when my seat stopped moving. The contacts get hosed up and stop working and this fixed my problem; maybe this is your issue (since I heard clicking but no forward movement).

Two bits of advice:
1. The ***** and springs go everywhere when you disassemble the switches.
2. Ace Hardware actually has the right size ball bearings if and when you lose them.
