    '05 power driver seat won't move

    It was fuse #3. I swapped it out (definitely was burnt) and put a fresh one in. I now can move the seat up/down/tilt again and can hear the relay click when I try fwd/rev. I did pull the connector out of the potentiometer, still no movement. Then I pulled the plug out of the motor under the seat...

    '05 power driver seat won't move

    ok, so fuse #109 is intact. Even pulled it and checked it with a meter for continuity. However the drivers seat (and both power mirrors) are still dead. I think I saw fuse #3 that might be what I blew #3 7.5A Power mirror switch, Power mirrors (non-memory), Driver seat switch (memory), Memory...

    '05 power driver seat won't move

    I just double checked and the drivers seat motor is fuse #109, not #19. And it is a 30 Amp "Maxi" fuse. Luckily I also picked up some spares of those too :).

    '05 power driver seat won't move

    I had reviewed that TSB and am not 100% if it applies to me or not. The seat motor (that I pulled out and the new one I put back in) both had a straight bar (not bent). However I am thinking you may be right about it getting stuck. Ours had the feature that when the key was turned off the seat...

    2” or 2.5” front lift

    Thanks! I have seen tires that stick out quite a bit more than that running around town. The only issue would be those tires on the stock rims might be more likely to rub when turning, being a little closer to the inside of the wheel well/inner sidewall.

    '05 power driver seat won't move

    Thanks, I have the fuses now, so I can identify and replace the one I blew :). I do have the wiring diagram for the seat motor circuit, so I will try to do some troubleshooting. I have several multi-meters and more than a basic understanding of circuits (was a licensed electrician for 12 years...

    '05 power driver seat won't move

    Pulled the switch out and did my best to clean it. Could not take it apart for fear of not being able to put it back together. I was able to open it up, but not safely remove the switch itself. I did pull one side up (unclipped and pried it up) to get better access to spray the contact cleaner...

    '05 power driver seat won't move

    Thanks, that makes sense. I was starting to think it was not the switch since I would hear the (louder than the switch) about a half-second after I initiated the switch. But with your explanation that does make perfect sense. I have the contact cleaner in hand and am going to pull the switch and...

    2” or 2.5” front lift

    I just realized that you are running on the stock rim size of 17". I don't recall asking this, but if I did already, my apologies. Are those rims you have significantly different than the stock aluminum rims that come on the Eddie Bauer Expeditions? Maybe a deeper offset? Or is it close enough...

    '05 power driver seat won't move

    Thanks. I did not see anything on/under our seats like the rod that sticks out in the picture :(. I will do some searching for Expedition specific manual manipulation, if the switch "clean" doesn't provide the relief needed. :)

    '05 power driver seat won't move

    Ok, so you are talking about the switch on the side of the seat that we use to initiate the seat movement? (not some switch under the seat somewhere). Odd that I do hear a clicking noise, like a relay triggering, when I move the switch. Do you get that noise also? And yea, back when it first...

    '05 power driver seat won't move

    We have am '05 Eddie Bauer 4X4 expedition with heated/cooled power seats. The driver's seat has not moved forward/back in ages and is locked in the furthest most back position. It has been a major issue and I finally decided to do something about it. All other seat movements work (up, down...

    2” or 2.5” front lift

    Weird, the forum did not even seem to recognize my above post. Posting again to see if it will bump the thread last post date and/or notify the other thread participants.

    2” or 2.5” front lift

    What size tires are you running in the picture? Where did you get the lift kit from? Thanks!

    4" lift

    Been considering a modest lift to be able to get some bigger tires on our '05 EB 4X4 Expy. I am the original owner and it only has 75k miles on it. I did replace the factory struts about 9 years ago (at maybe 35k miles) with Bilsteins. I would prefer to keep the same rims and just go with larger...

    '05 hood insulator options

    I had dynamat installed throughout the interior about 9 years ago. They had some left over and wanted to know if I wanted to use it under the hood, to help with engine noise. After they installed it they reported back that they could not get the factory hood insulator attached back to the hood...
