Default Power seat problems

So my power seat will go forward but it wont move backwards, it will also go up, down, and the backrest will go forward and back. Its stuck in a really uncomfortable position and I need some help to figure out how to fix it.




Pic was when I first got it, I have since replaced the brakes, gas line, and new tires

make sure the power connector under the seat is properly connected and there are no broken wires

I had the same issue with my passenger seat. I would definitely check the connection under the seat and the wires. If they are good, it is probably an issue with your switch.

You can tilt the seat up in the rear and access the motor to move it forward and backwards. There are 2 screws connecting the motor to the seat frame. Take these out and flip the motor around and set the square connections back in place. Check if the seat will move in the other direction.

If you seat only moves in one direction, it is probably in the switch. This is a PITA fix. If you are the only one driving the vehicle, you can move the seat into "your" position and then disconnect the power connection so you or someone else does not move the seat.
