i got myself my tc a few months back and the seats havent worked since i bought it. i was trying to find a diagram for the fuse box, but mine doesnt look anything like what they come up as off of google. the seat motors look like they are in great condition, and the center controls all work except for the seats. what can i do to move it? is there a manual override for the power seats?
Welcome, Brandon - throw up some photos of your ride!

Check "fuse" 12 - it's actually a 20 Amp circuit breaker and it's next to the turn signal flasher.
ill need to figure out how to put pics up of it. ill also have to try that tomorrow to see if that will fix it up. i certainly hope so
In the full reply screen, click on "File Manager" under the text box. That's the function for uploading photos. Keep in mind that file size is limited to 500kb. You can also upload them to Photobucket or something and directly link with image tags.
off to photobucket. lol. all of mine are more the 500kb
i checked the fuses. they are still good. i swapped them around and they still retained all of the functions that they were supposed to have... except the seats. they still dont work even when i swapped fuses. all the wiring looks good still though. it isnt trying to do anything at all
Seats are on a circuit breaker, not a fuse. First thing to do is check for power (hot at all times) and ground at the seat switch using a test light. If power & ground, use test light to see if the switch is in fact switching power & ground to the 6 pin connector that goes to the motor assy.
sounds crazy. do you know if there are any walkthroughs on how to do that. im not much of an electrician. shocking myself a few too many times made me dislike electrical work. lol
You cant shock yourself on 12V. No walkthrus as far as I know of. You need to get an EVTM (electrical / vacuum troubleshooting manual) or a set of wiring diagrams for your car. I have been designing and troubleshooting electronics for close to 35 years and I still cant troubleshoot much of anything without a wiring diagram.
