Default gs300 memory seats not working

hi guys
just wanting to find out what fuse is used for the memory seats in the gs300 or what I can do to try get them working I have pulled the battery off for 5 min them reattach the terminal's and adjusted the seat all way forward and back and tilt the seat back and forth but I all ways run in to the problem with the seat stops working then I have to wait 10min or so before I can adjust it again as well as the steering wheel dose the same I can adjust it for so long before it wont work and I have to wait to move it again

before any one say any thing about searching I have done so and have tried
every thing to get the memory seats to work with no luck

Maybe is the ecu seat, that go bad or the connector onther you seat. Do you check thises connectors? Also, the switch on your seat can go bad as well.

I also forget to mention to you, that you need to check 2 different fuses. Both are located on the driver's side near where rest your left foot when you're driving. One of the fuse is the lighter cigarrette 15A that controls several things besides the lighter and the more important on the same area is the 30A fuse, that say D P/Seat on the cover door. Replace it with a new one no matter what this 2 fuses looks good and also, yes, the car have a ecu seat. That ecu save the position on the seat and steering wheel when you save it or programming to the position that are you want. That makes sense, right? Good luch and let me know what are you found out please.

Also, the other side (passenger side) you have anothe fuses box and on front of your baretty. Is not bad idea to check all that fuse as well.

I call my master mechanic friend that he work on the Lexus dealer and he told me to check the switch on the center of the console. The light on the switch can go ON but the switch can go bad. Check these switchers please.

My bad. I said the switch on the center console. To which I referred was the switch of the seat. Also, if is the switch seat, you can found a used one cheapest on eBay.

The seats work fine when I adjust in manually but when I did try to the rest for the seat it was like I lost power 2 them ... I moved the seats back and forth then reclined it right back then put the recline right forward to the steering wheel but it lost power in between and I had to wait a few minutes befor I could adjust it again in saying that I have a new battery in the car .... It's just it is like there is no signel to the memory seat button even when I just try to set it I get no noise ... Could it be that I have a after market headunit and there is a power source that is connected to the factory headunit that didn't get connected ???

Well, my last guess is, that you need to clean both connectors of the battery and also, leaves disconnected the battery overnight to see if the ecu if it resets itself. If that no work, you can call your local dealer and explaind you issue with your car and most of the time he tell you what you need to do. But if you try everything that you can right now. I'm close of 100% that is the ecu if you still lose power on it.

Hi again jsambo, I do my home work. LOL The ECU is under the driver seat and not behind the dash. You have to take the driver's seat out and you see the ecu. I hope you can solve the problem of power seat that you have. Please let me know what you found out.
