Power seat question
My drivers seat will only go forward/back for a couple seconds then stop, no sounds or anything. Then it's dead for a while then it'll do the same thing. Been doing this for a while now and I can't figure it out. Tried swapping the breakers but it didn't help. Any ideas?

If the track is full of crap or the slides are broken it can put a strain on the motor and cause it to overheat and cut out. I'd start by cleaning the tracks and making sure nothing is binding and replace the breakers while you're there. Like previously mentioned, they're pretty old so you may as well.

I have the same issue and the front of my seat will go up but not down. I'm going to order a new switch and see if that helps. They're about $80 on Gm Parts direct. It;s just so difficult getting your hand under the seat to check for anything, or even unbolt the seat. I hope it's the switch.

Well, that wasn't it. Same thing happening. Runs for a sec or 2 then stops and won't work again for a couple minutes at least...then does the same thing.
