Front driver seat wont move !!! HELP
OK, I'm ready to burn my driver seat !!!
One day I realized my seat wont move, which didnt bother me much as it was set to me... until a road trip when someone else had to drive. Well, I went to my friend-mechanic and he advise Memory module (under the seat) replacement. I got the 1st one, replaced, nothing happens. Got a replacement one, put it in, my seat moved a little back, unfolded a little and stayed like that !!! Strange thing is that the third switch works, the one that (pushing on your spine). The other, forward, up, tilt are dead. Anyone had smth similar ?

Do your outside mirrors work properly and adjust in all directions?
If not, it's a burnt fuse-- under-dash fuse#20-- a 7.5 amp fuse-- burned out and needs to be replaced by a 10 amp per a TSB.

sorry I forgot to mention in first place. Both fuse boxes are fine, not even 1 fuse bad. And all of them checked, not only mentioned numbered ones.
Mirrors are fine with both memory modules connected, wipers are fine too.

2004 Acura TL 6speed manual
I had the same problem on my drivers seat, I own a 04 TL. The seat didn’t move anywhere only the 3rd button which inflated the lumbar, I pulled up a wiring diagram and tested the pins and a ground wire on connector ‘A’ (of the seat control module) came off. I ended up pulling the pin and soldering it back to the wire and pushed it back in and that fixed my problem. (Connector A, pin 20)
Prior to fixing the problem I changed the drivers seat control module, checked the fuses, bought a new seat (which had the same problem as mine) and was about to change the MICU fuse box when I decided to check the the wiring on my seat. I hope this helps out someone who’s having the same problem. My wife’s 2005 TL is starting to develop the same problem as mine intermittently so I think it’s more common and not a lot of answers are available.
