I have a 2003 Z71 and recently have had a problem with the power seat controls on the driver's side working in reverse and stopping before they are in the full exit position. Anyone have any ideas on what could be causing this. Thanks

My drivers side just started acting up and will not go up to the same hieght that it use to. The passenger seat is normal and now sits higher than the drivers seat. I do not like not being able to raise the seat up to the normal hieght. Any suggestions?

No I have not. I've searched under neath the seat and checked all the conections, brackets, etc and can not see any problems.
It use to go up about another inch or two higher. Well I guess I'll just have to live with it unless someone post a message on how to repair the problem. I'm not going to take it to a auto shop and pay hundreds to fix what isn't that bad.

I have not ever had to crawl into a problem with my power seats, never looked at the electrical schematics, so I'm only speculating at how I'd try to attack this problem. Use it for whatever little it might be worth....
 
I'm guessing there could be either a mechanical problem, or an electrical problem. On the mechanical side, I'm guessing that there are worm gears with position sensing switches, similar to many garage door openers. Worm gear turns until it gets to the max position and a switch senses it is at max (or min), and turns off the motor from going further. Perhaps this switch is loose or bent somehow, perhaps the worm gear is loose or bent, perhaps the seat scissor mechanism has something jammed in it that won't allow it to go to full extension (like a bolt that worked loose). You may have to unbolt the seat from the floor and turn it over, to get a better view of everything.
 
Electrically speaking, I don't know if the Z71 has the auto-position memory functions. I'd try resetting both of those memory positions, wiggle all of the switches back and forth as perhaps one of the switches has gone bad.
 
Sorry can't be of much help, I'm really only speculating as to what I'd look at.

Does anyone rate car seating for comfort, power positions, details of upholstery etc. My arthritic wife is a stickler to have ability to reposition seats that are firm yet comfortable I think the French car maker, Citroen is known for attention to such details (no longer distributed in USA). We've bought up to BMW much because of seats, though the cost of ownership is high. Heard Lexus is good too. What about less costly vehicles? Anyone know out there?

Same problem with my 2003 Tahoe. Battery died. Had to boost it to get to garage for a new one. When I shut down at the garage, seat sucked in to steering wheel (easy exit in reverse) now the driver's seat forward/back switch is reversed. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

I have a 2002 Suburban with gray leather bucket seats. I'd like to replace them with a split bench, so as to increase the seating capacity in the vehicle by 1. Does anyone have any suggestions where to find? I have tried junk yards, ebay, etc. Thank you.
