I have a 2006 Denali XL and the drivers power seat no longer moves at all and the heaters on both drivers & passengers front no longer work. I've checked several fuses both under the hood & on dash panel with no success. Any suggestions?

Time to sell it.. I'd start with fuses. If not probably whole seat but haven't heard of anything like that going bad before.

Sound advice except that I just bought it in June.

There is a fuse that directly related to the entire seat controls, forgot which one...cant remeber if its a fuse or relay..anyways i had an issue with my drivers seat heating element coming on constantly and a temp fix was to remove the fuse/relay. once i did that, the seat controls no longer worked, neither the heating elememt, so i had to disconect the green connectors on the bottom of the seat. Now, if someone before you had an similiar issue, i would look under that seat to see if the two green connectors are mated.

I'll check that out. Thanks for the insight.

I took the car into the dealership for service and had them look at the driver's seat controls. They said that the wiring harness under the seat is showing signs of melting at the connectors and that is most likely the problem. Because the car is old enough the parts are no longer available through the dealership. They put some dialytic grease in the connectors and that fixed the problem for a few months.
