Default Power Seat Recline Trouble

Hey fellas,

So my front passenger seat is giving me issues. It works in all axis except it will not recline forward. It reclines backwards fine however.

Any ideas as to whats up? I pulled the control off the center console and it all is hooked up properly.

my problem was solved with just re pluggin the connectors to the controls on the console - perhaps check the fuses -- below the seat you cant see until you remove the plastic under seat cover thingy
good luck

Take apart the switch and clean the metal contacts inside. There is a write up on how to do it: https://forums.lr4x4.com/topic/47674...seat-switches/

I had the same problem. Watched the video on you tube and took it apart, cleaned the contacts. No worries, it only took about an hour.

Do you remember where you found this video? Can't seem to find it on youtube.

Never found that video but didn't need it. The linked thread was enough and its all back to normal!
