Power seat motor

[08lt]

I have a 2008 chevy tahoe with electric seats my girlfriend got in and moved the seat foward and now it wont go back. Its all the way foward and still clicks to move foward but nothing trying to go backwards. What should i do?

Check to see if the motors/seats blocked that will cause it not to move. Do you have the memory seat. Try that and see if it moves it.

Does not have the memory. And it doesn’t look to be blocked at all. Its has power foward but its dead when trying to go back

His gf doesn’t allow him to go on this kind of forum anymore. Pretty common after the 1st post

How did you test and then replace the switch?

How did you test and then replace the switch?

The dealer did it for free but to test you can just jump the wires

Okay not the switch. Motor is dead. How hard is this to replace. Where is best place to buy one?
