k....if i were 2 get in truck the seat would work back and forth then just STOP WORKING.
if i wait like 20 minutes or turn truck off and return...it MIGHT move a inch then stop.
feels like looses power...even if im off seat...its moves but then gets slower and dies out.
theres 2 buttons on each side of switch....one button i can feel it has power but doesnt work,move seat.you can hear it slightly thump but cant move it...wonder if i can put direct power to seat and bypass everyting. when seat works...it moves fine back and forth. im gonna have to pull it out of truck i think....any help?

txs people......

Could be the motor...

I'm guessing you've already made sure there wasn't obstucting the way of the seat? Maybe peak under there while you engage the motor to see what's going on.

Could be a bad relay or electrical connection. It wouldn't make sense for an electric motor to work for 2 seconds then not work till the next day.
