My seats stop functioning, if you had any problems with your power seats and know of any solutions please hook a brotha up.

Thanks Mason

heck yes i have problems with mine... it stopped working when it was pushed all the way back now i have to use a backrest thing to push me foreward to the pedals [:@] Haven't been successful with finding a way to fix it other than buying a new motor for 250 $ or some new seats... but let me know if you find one

Yea....DAMN. That sucks. I cant hear the motor so i guess i am left to assume that it has burnt out. I was just primarily trying to find out if there was some cancel swith or something like that. But i guess ill take it to my mechanic and see what he suggests. I'll let you know what i did for a solution Sandman.

thanks guys, mason

You know.. I would hate to reply to something so delicate like power seats but I was thinking that IF/WHEN mine go, I think I will go with aftermarket ones(Kind of like my evo 8 stockers).. rather than speding money on fixing the same ones .. Just my 0.02..

good point on the aftermarket seats if the new motor costs that much.. did you check the connections under the seat maybe they got unplugged when you pushed the seat all the way back.. they just click together.. poke your head under there and look if you cant see it.. look at the back of the seat rails there are two pieces of plastic that cover the rail ends.. take those off, then remove the front pin at the front of the seat.. that will allow you to remove the seat and take a closer look at the connections. Best of luck

yeah our old 96 a4 had issues... the power seats were intermittant at best. I think it might just be the connections... because on days that they chose to work, they worked fine. Spray some electrical connector cleaner on the connections.
