Hi all

My passenger side seat wont move forward or back and the back rest wont mover either, the seat will move up and down fine and the lumbar support works fine as well, has anyone had similar or any clues what to look for?

Doesn't look to be anything in the way blocking it from moving

The fact some functions are working suggests it’s a control rather than power issue. Has the car ever had wet carpets? Doesn’t take much to have oxide corrosion on the connections under the seat.

Trouble with electric seats is access. Are you able to get splined drive bit onto forward and rear runners? It’s awkward working on it otherwise. You’ll need a 1/2” drive and extension bar to remove. With bolts removed, you can tilt seat back. Don’t remove yellow connection that’s usually airbag or it will illuminate on dash.

If you had VCDS, you could scan to see specific fault code. There’s a hack if you can’t access splined bolts with a 12v power source to move.

Hi, no the carpets have never been wet or anything spilled on them, yeah i think i can get to the seat fasteners, i have removed the wire to the drivers side front and back motor and is has no effect on the back recline as the still works when its unplugged, may be the actual switch mechanism its self??
