Rear seat adjustment issues

Yii · #1 04-13-2012, 12:04 PM

Hey guys just need a little help. Been searching for fuses on the forums and looking around for similar issues, i refereed to the manual and even found a DVD interactive manual lol but still no real answer. My rear seat adjustment buttons don't work. The buttons right next to the rear seats not the ones at the cargo hatch. When i first got the vehicle those buttons worked but i believed after curious playing from different passengers might of blown the fuse. I am sure its the fuse because the button to adjust the seats all the way in the cargo hatch work. So i go to the glove box and tried looking for Rear seat adjustment fuse or something of that nature and found nothing... closes thing to rear seat was heating which i dont have... so i check cargo fuse box and found something with rear seat adjustment but fuse was fine... thinking this fuse was for the cargo button and not the ones right above the seat. can anyone shine some light on this? is there something wrong with the fuse i am looking for or is the button just broken?

Not sure where the fuse is for that but I can tell you that things do stop working even though the fuses are okay.

My radio recently just would not turn on. I go to the rear fuse box. Pull the radio/nav fuses and they were all fine. Reinserted - and radio works fine.

Just saying that just removing and reinserting fuses could solve your problem. I'll try and look where that fuse should be.

And here I was hoping for a happy ending to this thread. One of my seats isn't working and before I start digging around I was hoping for the coles notes version of where to look.

yeah i looked at that fuse box location, none of which listed rear seat adjustment only passenger seat adjustment. It does however show rear seat heating which i don't have... i tried pulling the rear fuse box's rear seat adjustment fuse and plugged it back in and still nothing =/ wondering which fuse or whats going on... motor is fine since the hatch buttons work... damn german gremlins always gets the best of me =[

Have you tried replacing the buttons for the seats. Maybe it's them.
Have them tested on volt meter

Ok tonight my friend asked me what the button does and i said it adjusts the seats but its broken... he pushes it and it moves... WTF!? it works now but when i turned the car off it wont work... seems like i have to have the car running and at least have it moved b4 it starts working? is this a sign that my alternator is starting to go? i replaced my battery like a year or 2 ago
