-- When driving I can hear and feel what sounds like an electric motor underneath the seat making a slight clunk, then another clunk 2 seconds later. That repeats about every 10-15 seconds. When I get out of the car one of those motors underneath the seat is VERY warm. It doesn't do this every time I drive the car.
-- This is the first problem with the seat.
-- 36,000 miles on the car
-- Up until today, I would adjust the seat forward and back whenever I got in/out of the car.
-- All the fuses are good.
-- I can see no tools, teddy bears, Big Macs, condoms, guns, combs, etc., underneath the seat.

Before I take the seat out to check the wiring, plugs, etc., I wanted to check here first to see if this is a common problem, and, hopefully, with sy fix.

Thanks for any help.

Re-assembly was easy, except for getting that side panel back on the left side of the seat. I had to bend it so much I thought it was about to break before it finally popped in to place.

I also carved out some of the foam that was resting on the top of the switch and the plug so it wouldn't constantly be pressing down on the back of the plug/switch assembly,.. putting a strain on the switch housing that probably caused it to break in the first place.

I' m having the same problem.

Thanks
