Boxster drivers seat no power?

Passenger side is fine. What do you think likely culprit is, fuse?

Thanks

I think I found the fuse but cant pull out with fingers. Its a big 30 amper, do i need a fuse puller or something like that?

Marty, sometimes there is a tool right in the fuse box for pulling the fuse. In your car they may have omitted it for weight reasons...or they just want to make you take it to a dealer to jam you one more time.

Needle nose pliers?

Ok, I got them out and tried one new one in slot that said power seat. No power. I may need to buy another 30 and replace both left ones. They look perfect to me. Do I need a fuse tester?

With a volt/ohm meter, you can test continuity through the fuse. Check the switch also: no continuity with switch off, continuity with switch on. If switch and fuse are both good, check your manual, and follow the 12V circuit from the main fuse/circuit breaker box, then determine the spot where you lose 12V. Sounds like something came loose or got pinched.

Your car should be using a blade type fuse which means it is a visual check. You can do continuity through it if you want, but it really is something you should easily see on a large fuse.

Most power seats also have relays. Find yours, swap the passenger to the driver (if there are two) and test the relays. After that, down to checking for power and I do recommend a voltmeter for that - LOL!

If fuse isn't blown, it most likely is a connection under the seat that has come loose. There's a lot of wiring in high-end seats and not much room. Since you've been prepping the car to sell, I bet you cycled the seat all the way forward for cleaning and pulled something loose. There's extra wiring under the seat to allow for travel. It could have been designed poorly, installed poorly, or have tolerance issues. It might be a simple matter of snapping the connector(s) back together between the seat and the body harness. It will probably be very difficult to get at and may require unbolting the seat first.

First check the switch to see if its broken and a grounded test light is a good way to check it for both supplly voltage and a output voltage.. If you have power there you eather have a lose wire or a bad motor.

Marty, is this sorted? What was it?

More to the point...is it sold yet?
