Power seat front and back adjustment on 2004 Suburban only travels about 1 inch. I've cleaned everything thoroughly to make sure there is no obstruction. Still only travels about 1 inch (from rear position). Also, while troubleshooting it suddenly went all the way forward while I was moving the switch back. But I haven't been able to get that to occur again. Fuses look good. Seat back and seat tilt adjustments are working fine.

Thank in advance for any ideas.

 

Welcome to the forum.

Not sure what what stops the motor when the limits are reached but might check for limit switches to see if they might be causing the problem. Probably have to unbolt the seat to do this.

 

My '04 is doing the exact same. Did you get yours figured out? I need to get on this quickly as the wife is a bit short on patience and leg reach.

 

Hi - from what I remember (I actually traded my 04 in and now have an 11), I played around with it for quite a while. I eventually got lucky and it travelled all the way. Then I went back to where it was and it got stuck again. So I discovered that when I got "Lucky" and it travelled the full length, I needed to avoid going back the other way or else I was screwed again. It was find for my wife because she never went all the way back. I just had to remember it for myself.

I also remembered later on that I could have used the pedal adjustment while it was in the broken state (for her).

Sorry if that isn't really a "fix" but its what happened to me.

Lovin the 2011 LTZ, BTW.

 

I'm having this same issue - any ideas?

Thanks
Bill

 

Did you ever get an answer on this by any chance? I am having the same problem. "... Power seat front and back adjustment on 2004 Suburban only travels about 1 inch.

What and where are the limit switches? I am having the EXACT same problem. "...Power seat front and back adjustment on 2004 Suburban only travels about 1 inch.
