Heros don't always wear capes. Thank you, good sir. I just saved a bunch of money by fixing it myself. Bought the replacement panel from Amazon. 23 bucks later and it is fixed.
Thank you so much for this!! It's a little complex but not too hard at all. I just got mine off my Hyundai Santa Fe and I'm thinking about calling into work tonight because I was sitting with my knees up almost in the fetal position 🤣. No but really it's embarrassing. Won't go back. Hopefully Auto zone has one of these. Thanks again! 🙋♀️
This video was the best!!!! My seat was the opposite went forward but not back I followed exactly what you did and I was able to get it to a comfortable position and left it be. Thank you for sharing this video!!!!
I swear this video literally just saved my life....I work 30mins from home and was not looking forward to driving from the backseat seeing as I’m only 5’4 THANK YOU SO MUCH
thank you bruh i’m 14 years old and i want to be a mechanic when i grow up and my sister came to me with this problem and i didn’t know what to do but this video helped me so much
I am thankful for your video this is the second time I used this video to fix my car I used it last year 2024 and now top of 2025 I had to use it again, so thankful ❤
Thank you so much! My much taller younger brother put the seat all the way back and it got stuck there. Was driving around with a pillow as basically a car seat lol. This was a life saver!
Thank you very much brother. If anybody is having trouble with their seat not reclining properly and the motor is looking okay, you need to watch this video thoroughly. Doesn’t matter if the seat is not moving forward, backward, up or down. Its all you need.
Ive been sitting in the most upright position for about 3 to 5 years lmao, ive seen a lot of videos of doing it manually. none worked for me. I have a 2012 impala ltz. Different car but same mechanism. I just came inside from fucken fixing it!! holy shit im ecstatic lmao now im gonna lean so far back you wont be able to see me driving past lmao. Thank you. A million thank you's. I'd hug you if i had you in front of me lol. I never comment on videos. But you deserve to know how fucken awesome you are and how helpful this was lol
This video just saved me $1,650. The dealership told me I needed a whole knew seat and track assembly. I got my seat into a comfortable position with the help of a friend and this video. I went back to the dealership and demanded my $140 diagnostic fee back.
Bro thank you so much for making this video! Saved me Money and hassle. Had the same make and model car even the same screwdriver lol. But video was easy to follow And led us to realize our switch was messed up and needed to be replaced. Was able to find one on Amazon and followed the same procedure and problem solved! So thanks again two years later video still helping people.
I was looking for a video to see why my memory seats aren’t working, no power in setting them and came across this, thank you for showing and teaching us something new.
Thanks buddy...your tutorial on fixing the power seat really worked for me , i was able to fixed my power seat reclining issue after watching your little video .Thanks once more.
Thanks for the video. Explanation was clear and easy to follow. Not too difficult of a repair. My issue was worn brushes on the switch. Motor was good. Saved me some mula!!
You are a lifesaver. I was going crazy already as I was chilling by the beach, reclined my seat all the way back. I followed your instructions, and it worked, I love you!!! 😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks you so much! My car seat was stuck for more than a year, I thought it was just dead, then I see your video, minutes later…. Magic lol Thanksssssssss
Bro when I tell you I thought I was lost before finding this video. I I’d recline my seat for you know what n it’ll never go back up , just follows these steps n it worked. Appreciate you much boss
My my feet is all the way back and there’s no way for me to pull it forward so I came across this video. Thank you for taking the time for making this video
Thanks so much for your video! It worked so well for my situation and saved 350$ for me from the dealer! They told me that it’s a problem with the motor and I need to replace the whole seat.
You just saved my daughter’s life!! LoL 😂 I fixed it and now she can keep driving her car comfortably and not looking like she’s cruising down the street like my Old Cholo Days. Ha Ha Ha Ha 😂🤣😂🤣😂😂 Thank you so damn much! You are the MAN!! 👍🏾👌🏾🙏🏾
Thank you 💯for posting this video. I was stuck like my seat until you made my day. Great presentation. My switch got stuck and seat was almost touching the steering wheel.
Thank you so much for the video! You saved me over $250! I have a 2011 Nissan Altima 3.5 SR. The driver’s seat power switch would not raise the backrest, but it’s other functions were operable. It would only go backward. I went to my local mechanic and he wanted to charge me $150 just to remove the seat and then a separate amount for diagnostic and repair. It sounded absurd. So being mechanically inclined, I purchased the switch for my car from Amazon for $28 (Nissan selling it for $164). I watched your video and followed your directions. Now my seat is repaired for only $28!!! This is so amazing! Thank you sooo much and I wish you much success! ☮️❤
Sweet thanks brotha. Your video gave me some anxiety like I was in the titanic submarine fixing to implode but you likely fixed my Titan seat and for that thank you 2 thousand times and my god bless you on your way
Thank you for making this video and showing me how to fix my seat myself I'm a woman and it's not easy doing everything by yourself but I really appreciate your video thank you 🤗🤗🤗🤗
My dude, thank you for this video. Saved me I don't know how many hundreds of bucks. Got the part of Amazon and did it myself and it's all fixed now. Thank you!
Thanks for the video, i had the same issue for my 2007 nissan altima and after watching your video i am able to fix the reclining issue with seat, thank you so much for the video
Thank you thank you a million times thank you was doordashing for 8hrs with the seat stuck forward not back fixed w no tools just my fingernails and some ingenuity.
BRO YESSS!! Thank you so much for this. I was trying to use a jumper switch and every trick in the book to energize the motor. I had the exact same issue and after watching your video I immediately tried this and worked perfectly. Thank you
Thank you for this my seat was stuck straight up for two weeks someone told me I needed I motor I was like no it goes forward just not backwards so I can’t be the motor and I just ordered a replacement switch 10 minutes before I saw your video then I canceled my order😂😂
Thank you I have a 2010 Nissan Altima it was reclining backwards but not forward I took it apart like you show in your video and it was one of the tabs on the circuit board I used a screwdriver and I pressed it and in moved up and it actually seemed to fix the whole problem put it back together with the cover and now it's working Backward And forward thank you so much
Bro! Thank you. Going to revisit this tomorrow and will update on if it works for me. My little workaround was to wet it and then it worked (reclining up and down) lol
Thanks!!! My seat randomly just started to recline and wouldn't come back up. This was the exact issue. Thanks for the content. I would have been @ the shop 🤑🤑
Great Video, lots of useful info. 1 question - at 1:38 - 1:40 you speak of the clips/clamps that hold the panel onto seat. Where can I get those clips/clamps? My panel cover does not have them and the tabs break off without the clips/clamps in place.
I JUST had this happen to my 2011 Altima 2.5 S. I knew it wasn't the motor because when the switch works the motor works and sounds fine. I also wasn't sure if the seat needs removed from the car to replace the switch. Thanks for clarifying that.
I had the similar situation in Nissan Altima 3.5 SL, all I did was use contact cleaner after taking off the front buttons while the while assembly was sitting inside. It worked like a charm. Now I am having the same issue in my Nissan 370z and its not as easy as to access the contacts as in Altima. Wish me luck !!
I was doing the same analysis but I didn’t think to try moving the seat witch switch cover open. Same problem! CLUTCH AS FUCKKK SAVED ME FROM BUYING A NEW MOTOR
Heros don't always wear capes. Thank you, good sir. I just saved a bunch of money by fixing it myself. Bought the replacement panel from Amazon. 23 bucks later and it is fixed.

WOW!!! You just saved my legs and back !! Ladies/gents/ teens/ beginners.. you can do it, it took me 5 minutes!!! Simple simple simple. Thanks !!!!!!

The bottom line is it's a part that needs replaced, not the whole seat and track assembly.
