Power seat won't work after fixing seat heater

I fixed my driver side seat heater and when I put the seat back in the car the power functions won't work. The heater is working now but there is no movement and also no response or light in the memory buttons. Any help would be great. Thanks

I have a similar issue. After repairing the seat heating element, and reinstalling the seat, the forward/backward power motor only works in one second spurts. I have no explanation why.

check your fuses and make sure all connections were plugged back in after fixing the heater.

I think I had this problem after repairing seat htr. several yrs. ago. Make certain the wire harnesses are reconnected to the correct place. Best I recall 2 of the cables could be reversed. Good luck.

The motor is bad and its triggering the motor's circuit breaker. That's why it only works in spurts.

Replace the motor.

You probably somehow damaged the Power Seat Control Unit. Try replacing it. You can probably get a used one for pennies on the dollar.

Oh, check the connectors first just incase. Check for a loose connector or a bent pin.
