Well My dog hit the power seat adjustments on the drivers side and now the power seats and the steering column adjustments both dont work. I tired replacing the fuses today and that did not work. Any ideas of what it could be?

I think there is a wiring harness under the seat that is the culprit. I'm sorry I can't say for sure.
It could also be the Ignition Switch, but I think I've read about the harness solving the problem.

the wiring harness under the seat came unplugged. it's right behind the controls on the side. I've had to glue the harnesses into place for customers. It usually will unplug on it's own if that side piece is loosely connected to the seat. really common problem with a really quick fix

I am pretty tall and my seat is all the way down and it is hard to get to. Do I need to remove a cover or something? I cant get to the plu now. Please help!

Yes, the cover on the side comes off and the seat switch is clipped to the backside of it. The connector for that switch (which is also the control unit for the seat and steering column adjustment) oftentimes comes loose from the switch. And a lot of times, the switch just goes bad. If the plug is good, then you'll need to replace the switch.

there's a torx screw on the front of the panel and 2 or 3 plastic panel clips that hold the panel to the seat. You should be able to lift the seat all the way then remove the torx and maybe the panel clip on the front. You should be able to pull the panel enough away from the seat to see the harness. From there just try and wiggle it back into place and you should be set.

Kudos for using search and continuing a previous thread instead of flooding the boards by asking a question that's already been answered. :thumbup: Welcome to the boards bro.
