Got about 3" of water in it from Harvey. Thought it was the seat control box, ordered used one off eBay, put it in, same thing. The lumbar DOES work, just no seat movement. Checked the fuse behind the dash good. When I press the memory button no beep or anything. Could the used seat controller be bad also? The seat doesn't even try to move. Passenger seat works fine.

Update - seat memory buttons DO beep. Seems I can save and recall, but seat doesn't move. Is there another fuse I an unaware of?? Can't believe all seat motors are bad!

Water into an electric motor is a great way to kill it.

Dear MMatheny, did your fix work? I have the same problem, as do some others. I would rather just replace the forward/back motor if I can find one.

Dear MMatheny, my auto is an 01 Lexus ES300, 85 k miles.

Yes I did - turned out to be a pin pulled back in one of the cables that attached to the seat. And wow - my '02 has just about that same mileage!
