power seats

kajunboy89 · Dec 8, 2010

not really sure where this should go, so i put it here, mods can move it after.. anyway, playing around with my power seats and i cant figure out what all the switches do, or if i have a bad motor or disconnected wire.. i can get the seat to go front and back but every other switch i hit i just hear like either an electric motor or a small air compressor running... any help?
btw 03 SLT.

They are motors you hear any if you hear the motors with nothing happening then you probably have a bad drive coming from the motor, it is quite common and sometimes they can be a real pain in the ___ but you are prob going to have to take the seat out and turn it upside down so you can see all of the drives to find the one that is broke.

actually all of them make that noise except the one to go front and back. what do the rest of them do anyway?

The other two buttons make the seat go up and down. Not a lot you can do cause the whole assembly is one piece and costs $400 at a dealer. Very common problem on these trucks

im pretty set with my height on it, and i can still go front and back lol
someone was telling me it was for lumbar support or something like that

I think only the laramie trucks have power lumbar. You should have a knob on the side of the seat to adjust the lumbar.

The rear switch is the pwr lumbar on my seat from a 04 SLT Laramie

pretty sure theres 4 switches on mine.

If I understand your setup correctly, there's a flat then roundish, then flat switch. The flat are tilt forward and back and the round is up and down and forward and back

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - DRIVER SEAT
SWITCH
For circuit descriptions and diagrams, refer to Wiring.
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
(2) Remove the power seat switch from the power seat.
(3) Use an ohmmeter to test the continuity of the power seat switches in each position. See the Power Seat Switch Continuity chart (Fig. 2). If OK, refer to
Power Seat Track Diagnosis and Testing in this group. If not OK, replace the faulty power seat switch.
