I replaced mine last week, outside door, below driver's window, 30 amp.

Mike:

Also carefully check cable connections btwn. floor and seat. Open cable wrap and check crimp connections and plug connections. Don't know fuse layout on D.S., but as soricobob mentioned, our seat fuse is also located in the driver side fwd. elec. bay on our EX.

As Steve said check your plug for chair in most cases its a loose wire in plug thats not crimped.
You may have a fuse panel in dash if you have a dash panel access panel on top of dash in front of steering wheel.
Fuse panels may look like this link.

Mike,

I found the fuse on my diagram. I shows that it is a 30 amp on the front #3 St. Clair fuse block, and should be marked as "30 Driver Seat". If my memory serves me, the Front block is under the hood, over the generator slide-out. I will go out and look to see if I can see it. My DS is parked out front. I will also scan and try to send the diagram.

Well the drawing was helpful to track down the general area, but mine was on St. Clair fuse block #3 and marked "30 Captain Seat".

You will see 3 black, square boxes. The one on the upper left is #3.

There are clips on the top and hinged fittings on the bottom. Careful to not break the hinges or clips... it can be done.

The clips on top will pry up with a finger under each clip... pry up and gently pull toward you, slightly. Once the clips are loose you can move the cover downward and out and the hinges will detach.

The "Captain Chair" fuse is right in the center of the block. You can click on the photo to enlarge and then click it again to zoom in. You can then see the fuse marking.

Good Luck,

Ron

Well, I guess that was a waste of time...

Good job Ron, sometimes it takes a while for people to find where they post their question so maybe we'll get a response.
Have a link to your answer for future reference.
You seem to know a bit about DP problems. Find your posts informative.

Sorry it took so long to reply,great pictures, i'm sure it's there. No internet at the race campgrounds. My next project besides the fuse is tracking down a warning buzzer that just started, all guages appear to be normal so dropped it off at a local truck repair shop.
