Seems my '99 with 193k of miles is a jealous one. After looking and passing on the '00 I saw this weekend she acts up.
the drivers seat will not move via the control switches. The seat moves with the memory on door. I swapped the switches from the passenger seat and still no movement. The fuse is good.
I am thinking I have a broken wire from the switch plug to the motor.
your thoughts?
thanks.

Today I attacked my seat problem. I removed the passenger seat module by removing the seat so I could see how it was assembled. Next I removed the drivers seat module with the seat in place, not as difficult as I envisioned. Plug the good module in, nothing. Grrrrr! Returned to passenger side and found my drivers module was fine. Reassembled the passenger side. Thought I must have a cut wire as it is a power issue. I checked the main fuse again, it was ok. Carefully reading the fuse chart there is a separate fuse for the seat switch and 4 other functions, #8, a 5 amp fuse. Pulled it, looked fine, then held it up to sun. In cornor was a break in wire, no burn Mark! Replaced fuse and all is good. Now old dumb butt is having a drink trying to decide if he is happy for the cheap fix or upset he missed it orginialy.
