Power Seat....not Working

07 NBS SLT with the Fully Powered Memory Seats.....Driver Seat has been nothing but trouble since the truck was new....at 6K miles the Back Harness Shorted out due to contact with the seat frame and had to be replaced.....then at 23K Miles, it was diagnosed that the Back Harness had shorted again, causing some minor electrical with the XM and Onstar in the Truck....I guess they are on the same circuit....then at 26K Miles the Bottom Harness needed to be replaced also because the problem re-appeared.....now 28K Miles, my Power Seat only works when it wants to, and is often stuck until I mess with the switches for about a minute or so then it will take off....I see no wiring issues at all.....and everything looks good, except it doesn't work....the Heat works just fine, but when this problem is happening, I lose the Memory Feature also....I called the Tech who works on my truck and he suggested that on some of the new trucks there is something called "Logic Lock" which he described that its kind of like when your computer at home freezes up, you have to reset it to get it to work.....basically he was suggesting removing the seat fuse and reinstalling, or simply unplugging the batter for a little while.....I am going to give this a try, but has anyone else had this problem with their truck? I'm thinking my memory module might be toast, but not exactly for sure on this either....

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I can only guess as well that something was clicked on that brought you to the half ton choices by accident. By all means try again and chose the 3500 and sort out that its the cab and box configuration you want and choose four wheel drive ( rather obvious to have a transfer case ) and to make sure the dually isn't chosen. I find or at least did a couple of years ago when I was sifting through the options that it would sometimes jump ahead after choosing the series of truck and in this case 3500 and skip some of the other initial configuration choices and have to watch the heading bar and sometimes back up by choosing the first in the series of option break downs. I think sometimes the computer will remember items that were last chosen and skip over the first part. Anyway go through it all and depending on the trim level chosen and I think the LT is one that may fall into that where the option of having the 4 high auto transfer case can be chosen, where as a High Country doesn't show that option as it just comes with the fancier ( not necessarily better though in terms of potential problems ) transfer case but for sure both transfer case choices are equipped with high and low range in the HD truck segment. Like Newdude said who works at a dealership, its the half tons that are the ones that will come with the single speed unless certain options or trim levels are chosen that add the two speed transfer case but as your looking at an HD, you don't have to worry about that hot mess.    One item that at least didn't show up and not sure if it does yet or not in the HD options on the manufactures pubic website is the upfitter in cab switch option if one is desiring that. Unfortunately its not wired in at the factory but the panel with the switches is on the dash but the wiring harness to be installed gets tossed under the rear seat to be installed by whomever after the fact to complete the installation.

      Yesterday we brought home a 6yr  old Havanese dog from a nearby SPCA.  We've had her for 24 hours and we are delighted with how well she is adjusting to her new home.  It  was a huge decision to adopt a dog at this stage in our lives but we believe we made the right choice!   it was reported that her first 6 years were ones of neglect.  I think she's already realizing her life is going to get a whole lot better...  so is ours!

      I thought I was building a HD 3500 srw, maybe I was lost.

      Which 2027 engine will you choose?

      No doubt, I definitely agree with you. However, considering the 6.2 and 3.0 have been catastrophically failing with very little miles, I figured I would put trouble free. I’m at 18,4xx and still not a single issue.

      It’s never dry here but it gets hot. My 4 vehicles I keep at home drive an 18 mile loop. One 6 days a week. Two about 3 days each and one once a month. Only one goes on trips about 4 times a year 1000 to 2000 miles each time. One 26 years old gets driven once a month for 22 years. One 14 years old goes 6 days a week. The other two are recent at 2 and 4 years. All are performing normal no extra service other than that would be half of recommended or severe service in the maintenance manual. No extra water or steam out the exhaust or premature plug wear. I would consider an 18 mile loop would be enough. So apparently once a month at 18 miles for 22 years has kept the collector car running well. About 45 minutes a month.
