All of a sudden yesterday the driver seat and adj steering wheels stopped working. Passenger seat still works. They had been working fine before.
I checked the fuse and its fine, but replaced anyway, still not working. (The seat and steering column are on same fuse)
Is there some button somewhere i accidentally hit that disables/locks my adjustments?

make sure that plug for your drivers seat is properly connected under your seat, may be that is your problem?

Did the new fuse pop when you put it in?

that is most def. the driverside seat switch assembly. check the connection and then replace the switch assembly. i must have replaced 2 dozen of those on customers cars in the last 5 years or so.

would that be the seat adjustment switch assembly on the side of the seat?

I unhooked the seat adjustment module to see if that was where the short was. Even unhooked the fuse still popped. Makes me think there is some kind of short before the module. anywhere else I should check? thanks in advance. JS
