No Power To Drivers Seat

Pulled my drivers seat out last night to do the heated seat repair. Got it done late last night. This morning I went to put the seat back in the car and now I have no power to the seat. Pulled it back out to make sure I reconnected everything, checked the fuses, everything looked good but still no power to the seat. Any ideas? Thanks.

when you say looked good- did you swap fuses or use an actual test meter on each fuse?

note: MUST disconnect battery neg cable before seat removal--
before unplugging SRS connectors under seat,,,or you will trigger a false srs code and light
reset procedure is in our diy section

I pulled the fuse and just did a visual inspection. It wasn't burnt out. I disconnected the battery prior to disconnecting the wiring harness. I'll go back and turn the car on and see if the SRS light stays on. Thanks.

There are 2 fuses for the seat. Does the seat recline?

I reset the SRS light. Still no power to the seat. Seat won't slide or recline.

Yes. I started to pull that at as well and fix them both but once I got a look at all of the wiring harnesses I would have to undo just to get the seat out I decided to leave it in.

Well that eliminates it being a fuse issue because the only other fuse is the underhood fuse panel fuse 55 which supplies power to the dash fuse panel for the seats fuse. You need to go back and double check your wiring again. Start with the seat switch and make sure its plugged in.

What's that saying....live and learn. Apparently blue doesn't go to blue for the seat controls. I flipped two of the harnesses. I thought they purposefully made the connections different shapes and sizes to eliminate those type of issues. Oh well now I know. I'll go back to marking harnesses with a sharpie to make sure I'm connecting the right one's together. Thanks 01tl04tl and fsttyms1 for helping out.
