Passenger side seat does not work...

My passenger side seat no longer moves automatically when I try to put someone in the back seat. I know that the car must be in park for it to work, but it still does not work even when it's in park. I also tried it with the car off & I still have the same problem.


Anyone else have this happen to them?

This happened to me.

There is a fuse on the passenger side of the dash that controls the motor for the seat. You can try replacing that.

In my case, the fuse would pop immediately upon installation.

I took it back to the dealer and they replaced the seat motor b/c it had a short in it.

Hope that helps.

Sure thing.

I guess I should have asked if the seat will move back and forth by using the control on the side or if it only doesn't work when you pull the release lever...

It does work if I use the manual control lever, but not when I pull the release lever.

Well that's different, then.

If the motor is working with the manual control, then it isn't the fuse I mentioned.


It must be the switch in the seat lever... I'd take it to the dealer at this point.

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Mine also. The seat moves forward sporactically, whenever it feels like it.
