Worked on the armrests and moved my driver and passenger side captains chairs up to spin. Everything went well until I attempted to move the driver seat back to driving position today, no go. Passenger side went back with no problem, Got my multimeter out and theres no power on the back side of the drivers seat controls? It worked when I moved it up and a week later and 3 days before my next trip I can't move it. Can you manually move the seat or are there any suggestions?

Thank you and as always safe travels,

Probably pulled the power connections apart. Sometimes the butt connector stays joined but the wire has pulled out of the crimp.

You have to remember to turn the seat back the opposite direction so that it only makes a 180deg turn.
Power cable usually isn't long enough for it to make a complete 360deg rotation.

Happened to me a couple of times when the wife decided to 'help' me while I was outside packing things up.

^What he said. Probably pulled wires apart. Don’t ask me how I know..

After noticing the problem, I came in to eat lunch. Frustrated, I turn to this site for guidance as I always think the worse. I'm thinking that the wires pull out/seperated just below the subflooring. But as 96 Wideguide mention the connector became separated, mostly likely from spinning the seat. Attached is the culprit and that seat is heavy. Thanks to 96 Wideguide for your response.

Thanks again and as always safe travels,
