Just wanted to update everyone.

I just got my car back and now all power seat functions work. In my case, the problem was the relay under the seat. This is an easy fix as long as you can still remove the seat. The mechanic had a hard time getting to those bolts and charged me accordingly ($$$$$). Damn it. That's o.k. I had other misc work done too, and I'm satisfied.

Anyway for anyone with similiar problems, follow these troubleshooting tips:
1. Don't play with the switch if you know it's not working properly
2. Don't move the seat all the way forward/backward (it'll block the bolts holding the seat), you may have to take the seat out to check the relay, motors, cable, etc. under the seat.
3. First check the switch (most probable cause of the problem 90% of the time....according to my mechanic. This is an easy 2 min DIY job)
4. Remove the seat and check the relay
5. Elimininate other causes ie. cable, motors, etc.


Thanks to everyone who tried to guide me in the right direction.

Unfortunately I could not fix this problem myself. I became frustrated and gave up when I could not remove the 2 rear bolts...it was nearly impossible to get at. Like a dumb @ss I kept messing with the switch and the seat got stuck all the way back, hence blocking the rear bolts.

Hopefully my experience will save someone $$$$$ and lots of headaches.
