Hello and welcome to just answer.

 

Does your steering column adjustment work?

 

Is the seat trim panel where the switch mounts broken and hanging off of the seat?

Hi Sam -
No the steering column adjustment toggle doesn't work either - is it s fuse?
And yes - the seat trim panel is hanging off seat.
Thanks -

Accepted Answer

I believe that what has happened is the fuse is blown due to a damaged seat switch connector. You might be able to push the connector back together enough to move the seat once the fuse is replaced.

My son figured it out - it wasn't the fuse - but the connector was undone. But I appreciate your help!
