Powered Seats

[ferr1s]

Anyone know where the fuse location is for the power seats and what its labeled? I've looked under the hood and at the drivers side dash at the front door and I can;t find anything labeled for the seats. I have an LS and installed a pair of Leather esky seats. The original drivers seat was powered, so the new leather driver's seat is working great. The passenger seat was not, so now I'm having to figure out how to get it going. I figured I'd start with the basics 1st...check the fuses. I thought maybe GM didnt put the fuse in since the passengers seat didn't need power to start with. Any other thoughts are appreciated.

you could have gotten a bad seat, it happened to me. I bought a used driver's seat and installed it, only to find it wouldnt move, so I put the old one back in and it worked.
Maybe try hooking up your old one just to check and if it works then you can rule out the fuse problem

My original seat wasn't powered at all, so unfortunately I cant try that method. I guess I'll have to track a meter down and check power to the plug. I thought it might be easier to just check a fuse to see if they even put one in. Any other thoughts until I dig up a volt meter?

Im pretty sure theres a fuse....I would recheck the underhood and drivers side interior fuse blocks. Both boxes have a map on the cover that tell you what each fuse if for, the seats should be something like "pwr seats" or accessories....not exactly sure what, Ill look at mine tomorrow and post back. I havent heard of anyone going from non-power to power, but if the drivers side works the passenger should too....Like I said though, you could have a bad seat. The voltmeter sounds like a good idea

It may be labeled SEO for special equipment option.

Chilton Manual

I've been looking through the Chilton Manual and that hasn't been any help either. Who knew that finding this fuse was going to take longer than putting the seats in =-)

I'll have to check for the SEO fuse after work tonight. Thanks for the info Scotty.

It might be labeled SEO, SEO1, SEO2, or SEO IGN.

I found an SEO B2 & SEO Ign under the hood. I also found an SEO Accessory in the passenger compartment fuse box. All three fuses were in good shape. On one hand, that's great. On the other hand, that doesn't help my cause.

On a slightly different note. It annoys me that my Chilton manual has yet to be of any real value to me on anything I've done or needed to do for this truck. I think in their desire to cover so many iterations of tahoes, silverados, suburbans, etc., that they've been to vague on topics. I will say though, that they do a great job of explaining how to take lug nuts off....well worth my $25 bucks!

For 03+, it's the 30 amp breaker in the relay block. The relay block has the black plastic cover over it, left of the brake pedal.

Checked the block for the relay. There is one 30 amp breaker in place labeled for a seat. Does this breaker operate both seats? Any other places to check for a breaker or fuse for the passenger sear? The seat worked great when it was removed before, so it has to be the power to the seat being interrupted.
