2008 Ford Edge SEL - How do I troubleshoot the power seat?


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone

 

Drivers seat has been stuck in position for a while:

 

-Still has power. Heats up, reclines. Moved up and down, just not back and forth

-I can hear the solonoid click when I move it to the back position (but it's all the way back), nothing when I try to move it formward.

 

This happened a year ago and I tapped the motor with a hammer and it worked. No luck this year.

 

Is there a series of steps to troubleshoot this?

 

Thanks in advance. Much appreciated.

I have a problem with the vertical movement. I pulled the seat and tested for power to the motor, it appears there is power when I use the switch and I took the motor off and it continues to work in one direction, one motor did work intermittently in the other direction which is probably what happened to yours when you hit it. I think it will be easy enough to find them at the local junk yard, but I have not made it there yet. They are $100 each online so it is not that important to me.
