Are all functions inop on both seats? Check for voltage at the orange wire at each seat, this is power. Also check the black wires and make sure you have good grounds. The orange wire should be hot at all times even when the key is off. Make sure you have to GOOD 30A circuit breakers installed. If your power is good, grounds are good, and breakers are good, then you have a motor problem. I'm guesing you have a power/ground problem as having both seats go inop at the same time is highly unlikely.

i blew the clutch up about 3-4 weeks ago and the car sat, got back in it and both seats are completely dead, everything

defrost still works, swapped 30 amp breaker with windows and still doesnt work, swapped in a 30 amp fuse and still doesnt work

gonna check for power to the wires tomorrow

i just dont get this ****, i doubt its the motors cause whats the chance of both of them going bad at the exact same time
