ok so here's the deal. im selling my g37 to an ebay buyer but first he wants me to take the car to have a new owner inspection done. i say ok and tell him to find an inspector in my area. he does and i proceed to take the car to the auto shop to have it inspected. so after the inspection is done the inspector calls the buyer and tells him that the pass seat is not working and that for a couple hundred dollars he can look at it and try to fix it. now then, i know for a fact the seat was working before i took the car to have it inspected. im thinking that the auto place either monkey'd with the seat to make it not work so they could charge a ton of $ to fix it or either they were messing with it and somehow broke it. i have now way of proving this so basically im **** outta luck and have to find a way to fix it.

so i have the car back now and im looking at the seat and when i use the controls on the side of the seat nothing happens, no sounds, nada. so im thinking the auto shop either removed a fuse somewhere or unplugged a wire somewhere. i went to remove the seat bolts so i could see under it but cant because the seat is so far back that you can get to the rear bolts unless you somehow find a way to manually push it foward.

from what i can see, all the wires to the motors and control module under the seat are plugged in. my next step i've thought of since writing this is to take off the side panel and see if the controls are plugged up.

i guess what i need to know is are there any fuses or relays anywhere i could look for that may have been removed? such fuses/relays would have to be dedicated to the pass seat because the drivers seat works perfectly.

i should have known better before taking the car there in the first place. it's a hole in the wall place and the building looks like a run down *****/crack house. on top of that the grease monkeys got grease up and down the drivers side tan colored headliner and sun visor.

all help is appreciated

 

I think your right about the shop is trying to make some extra money than just inspecting the car over. In the future I wouldn't let a prospective buyer take my car to a repair shop that I'm not comfortable with. (run down building that looks like a crack house.)

 

take it to the dealer. should be covered under warranty.

 

the car had a previously salvaged title, therefor it has no warranty. the reason i let the buyer choose where to take it is so he can be confident that i have no affiliation with the mechanic and he would recieve an unbaiased inspection.

 

check the fuses... there's two spots. the kickpanel near ur feet driver side, and in the battery well, im unsure which is for the seats, but this is the quickest fix if it is just a blown fuse
