How much does it cost to install heated seats in my car?
Nearly any vehicle can have heated seats installed. The kits are simple, the installation is straightforward, and the cost is surprisingly affordable (under $500 for most applications). If you live in a cold climate, seat heaters are a nice add-on your dealership can install for a modest fee.
What to do if your car power seat wont work?
Check for incoming voltage at the failed motor or motors using a test light. If there is no incoming voltage, test the wire or wires for continuity between the motor and switch or relay, looking for an open or a short. Unplug the failed motor and test it outside, connecting the motor to the car battery using two jumper wires.
Why does a power seat need a motor?
A power seat needs all its seat motors operational or else it won’t have access to its full range of movement. Just one motor going haywire will hamper the ability of the seat to reposition its sections, if not outright disable the moving parts.
Why does my power seat move forward but not back?
Check for power and ground to the motor while using the switch; if they are available upon command, then the motor is faulty and in need of replacement. However, since the motor moves the seat forward and only needs the voltage reversed to move the seat in reverse, I suspect the switch is faulty and will need to be replaced.

Can a power seat fit in a front seat?
The front seats of many modern cars are usually power seats, each of which contains multiple seat motors. Some motors will fit in either seat while others can only fit in either the driver’s side seat or its opposite number on the passenger’s side.
Is there a way to manually move a power seat?
The adjustment motors of the power seat are bidirectional. The rotation directionof the motor is dependent on the particular direction that the switch is being set or pushed. That’s why when it’s not performing very well, you should check it before you left with the choice to manually move a power seat.
Can a motor be installed on a drivers side seat?
The install is easy, though time consuming. The install took place on my 80K mile ’03 Lincoln Town Car’s drivers side seat. The lower RH side seat rail and the relay computer both must be removed to gain the room necessary to remove the old motor assembly and install the new unit.
