Default Driver seat controls

I have a 98 TA and the driver seat controls to make it move back, forth, etc isnt working. Is it the controls, motor? Anyone have this problem before. Some water did get in on that side.

Please help

Have you checked the fuse?

Does the motor make noise or is it that nothing happens at all? Does your cruise control work? Im pretty sure the seat controls run off the cruise control fuse...

There is no noise whatsoever. Is the cruise control fuse in the fuse box by the door or under the hood? I also heard that the seat could work off the defroster fuse. Is this true? And if so, is that also located in the fuse box?

Thanks

hmm maybe it was the defroster I was thinking of. if the fuse isnt blown check the harness, make sure its plugged in. When I bought my TA the harness was unplugged...

There is a self resetting breaker that operates them both.

Man, I have an 01 z and some water did get in on my driver side and the controls don't work anymore either. I would love if someone knew how to fix that.
