Default Power seat< back will not go back

Hi, Have a A4 04 with power seats. The driver side seat back will not go back, It will go forward and now I am setting up straight. The motor works to move upright,
but the motor does not work to move it back.
I'm thinking it could be the switch. How could i tell?

It sounds like the gears are stripped in the power seat motor and is preventing it from going back. I don't think it is the switch from the sounds of it. Your best bet is to find someone parting out their B6 and pick up a used motor.

If the motor isn't turning you have a broken wire or a bad switch. Try cleaning the switch contacts and see if it helps.

How do you check switch & wires?
