The power recliner on teh driver's seat moves up (more vertical), but not down. It did this erratically for a while, but now it won't recline at all. I'd like to take the switch out for a test, but I can't figure out how to get the trim panel off the seat.
Has anyone done this?
Thanks for your help.

 

Hello @belton ,
You can see in my video at around the 50 second mark for removing the seat/switch trim, my video is of the passenger side, but it's the same for the drivers side, there is one more mounting point towards the center console, but I do not believe that you we need to go that far, as you can swing the switch and trim out far enough to access the rear side.

Do you have a scan showing the seat faults, as I see you have more than one issue, it may be the seat control module, which is located under the seat mounted to the seat frame, a scan would really help.

Johnny,
Thanks for the good advice.
I will get the car scanned before I do anything further.
That seat trim looks easy to get off, once you know the trick.
