If the
power seat
in your car is malfunctioning or getting stuck, it could be due to a couple of different issues.
  • Water and moisture could have gotten into the power seat.
  • An object could be obstructing the power seat’s movement
  • It could be a sign of a larger electrical problem like a blown fuse or stretched cable.
Regardless of what the issue is, it’s best to get it diagnosed by an
experienced mechanic
rather than try to tackle it yourself. Depending on the make and model of your car, you may or may not be able to move the power seats manually. There typically isn’t a way to just turn them off.
