Did you ever figure out how to tighten up the upper bearing? I am currently dealing with and beginning my research on a solution. Thanks.

Same thing happened to me a few months back. It was the wires coming out of the shifter. If you take the covers off your steering column, it is plain as day which wires we are talking about. Mine was a very obvious break. The wires for this area should have a lot more protection around this area. GM flaw..... If you follow the wires on down it as its own connector. Take the connector apart and one bolt and you can put the entire assembly on your workbench to resolder or fix it. If I were to rate the difficulty of this, I would put it in the beginner category. I had more of a challenge trying to figure out how the covers unsnapped from each other than anything else.

Sounds like a lot of fun is in my future.......I tried pulling the circuit breaker again and leaving it out for a little bit and then reinstalling, and that didnt help it this time. Am I correct in assuming that the heated seats and power function are on 2 seperate circuits since they are in 2 seperate locations on the fuse block?? If so, any ideas why they would both quit working at the same time, or is it just a fluke and I really have 2 seperate issues that just happened to occur at the same time??

Got in my truck this morning and there is no heat in the seats, and the power on the driver has stopped working. If it is a relay setup, where is the relay for the seats, and where is the fuse that controls the other side of the relay??

I rarely ever move the seat or adjust it. I have been using the heated seats daily...I live in Alaska. But they appear to be 2 complete different circuits because the power to the seat is the 30A circuit breaker that controls both seats and then the heated seats are included in the ignition with a 10A fuse. So I just think it is odd that they both go out at the same time and that it was only the driver side and not the passenger. I do have one motor that has stopped worrking, it is the front tilt motor on the bottom cushion. It stopped working a while back.

So I went ahead and pulled the circuit breaker for several minutes, and put another new 10A fuse in for the power seat and now everything seems to be working......weird. The other fuse that was in there was a good fuse, and it is weird that pulling the circuit breaker for several minutes would fix it, because there are only 2 prongs on the breaker and it controls both seats. I never had any trouble with the passenger seat. Do I have an electrical Gremlin??!!!

bump.

I have a 2006 silverado 1500HD LT. As of last night, my driver seat is dead. None of the power seat buttons works. I can't move the seat as well as the heated seat is not working either. All of these features are working on the passenger side. I checked all of the connections on the bottom of the seat and nothing seems loose. I also looked in the manual to see which fuses may be the problem. It looks like there is a fuse that controls the heated seats/Ignition and then a circuit breaker that controls both of the power seats. I have yet to find a fuse that controls JUST the driver seat. So does anyone have any ideas on what else to check or any clues as to why just the driver seat is not working??
