Q😢 It is 2024 and I just ordered the drive side control (10 way) for $18. (Amazon)

Thanks so much for this tutorial. Personally, I'm glad you're not a listener or we'd all still be stuck with this problem. I just fixed it today and my husband thinks I'm a genius 😅🤣. Best advice and tutorial ever!!!

I searched for some help with this on some forums and got nowhere. I was at the point of bringing it to the dealership. I searched one more time and found your video. Thank you for posting this!!! Thanks to you my passenger seat reclines again. Thank you

Awesome tip. You just saved me a bundle. My seat was stuck in the total recline position. I found your video, and fixed my truck in 5 minutes and didn't spend a cent!

Thanks so much Trent! Our 2010 Ford Expedition's front passenger seat was stuck in the fully recline position. I found your video this morning, ran to AZ to pick up a can of QD electrical cleaner ($10.99+tax) and ran home to complete the job. The seat panel is a little different on the Expedition, including requiring the removal of a T-20 torx head screw, but the rest was identical to your F-150. 10 minutes later, I had everything buttoned up and the switch worked like new! Seat operates perfectly! Thanks again for a great video

Tried this today and bam, my seat moves again. You just saved me a $100 bucks bro. Thank you so much for this video!

Now 4-1/2 years later and this video is still useful. My 2010 F-150 Lariat looks _exactly_ like your truck with black leather and the same rubber floor mats -- and even the same button, same side was non-operational. The only difference was my seat was stuck all the way reclined and yours was all the way up. I sprayed all the buttons and worked them back and forth, let the unit dry for a half hour or so, plugged it in and it worked perfectly. Thank you so much for posting this and saving me a hundred bucks.

I was quoted almost $400 to fix this problem. Your video is fantastic! I'm not a super handy guy either but this was an easy fix. I was done in 15 minutes. Thank you for saving me a ton of money!!

Thank you soooo much, it was so easy to follow too! Stereotypical girl here, zero knowledge about cars! I was able to follow along and get my seat unstuck in a matter of minutes! You probably saved me thousands at the dealership! Thank you thank you thank you!!

Dude I can’t say thank you enough!!! My passenger seat would also not recline on my 2010 F150 Raptor. I already had the electrical contact cleaner, just took that bad boy apart, sprayed her down, blew it dry and now it works like a champ!!!! Thank you!!!! 👍🤘🤘

2011 F-150, kids leaned the passenger seat all the way back and that’s where it stuck. A quick trip to the local auto parts store and $10 bucks for the cleaner and we’re back in business. Worked like a champ, thanks for posting!

Did your seat click while it didn't move at all before you fixed it?

You beautiful bastard! I can confirm this worked on my 2013 Ford Edge. Had been having the issue for about a year, where it would go back, but often not forward, until recently when it stopped going forward altogether. I knew it couldn't be a fuse because it made no sense for a switch to work at all with a bad fuse. Ran to Walmart and grabbed some CRC QD electronics cleaner (in the auto section by the intake cleaners and other auto sprays) for $5, opened up and sprayed the switch, toggled the switch a few times, let it dry for about 10 minutes, and it worked. Thank you for posting this! Only wish I had seen is sooner.

My Mitsubishi Outlander had the same problem...not inclining forward... followed all your steps and now Im back in driving position. That was hard with the seat stuck all the way back. Thank you Trent's DIY. You are the man!!! Sprayed it with battery cleaner...worked the switches...blew compressed air to evaporate and blow away the cleaner. Control returned! Bingo!!!

Gotta say thank you man! looked into fixing mine and the part was so expensive....thought i would try this video out first and it worked! a $6 fix that could have been $200! ou saved the day with this video! Cheers!

I know this is an old video, but thank you Trent. You just saved me $150. The switch in my '06 Mustang would not move the seat forward. But, it does now thanks to you.

Had the same problem here. Your video + 6$ electric cleaner and the job is done. Everything works perfectly. Thank you so much!

Great video. I just tried this process on my 2013 F150 Lariat and it worked. Pulled it out in under a minute, sprayed it as you said and waited to install it the following morning. Once I plugged it in, bam seat switch works 100% . Thank again for a great video.. I did order the same CDC spray on Amazon.

Thanks for the tip. We are on vacation and my wife's seat reclined all the way back. The parts store all said it would take 3 days to get the new switch. With 12 hours of driving left that was not going to work. Found this vid and it worked perfectly. Thanks so much. It was a vacation saver.

THANK YOUUUU!!!! THIEVING DEALERSHIP WANTED TO REPLACE THE WHOLE CHAIR....1200$!!

The passenger seat in my F250 has been tilted all the way forward for 3 weeks! My 5-foot-7, thirteen year-old son has to ride over there folded up like a pretzel to and from school every day because the backseat is full of his little brothers in booster seats. I'm sure we look ridiculous pulling into the elementary school drop-off zone. Both of the repair shops that I took my truck to said it would cost about $400 to replace the board because they couldn't fix or replace just the switch. Yesterday my friend suggested I search online for a how-to video. I had no hope in that plan but I found your video and thought it was worth a try. This morning I spent $8.00 on some QD spray and tonight I FIXED MY TRUCK SEAT! All by myself! And for only eight bucks! :D Thank you, thank you! (My husband especially thanks you!) ;) XO

You are the man! Thanks for saving me a trip to the dealer and a ton of money. Cost me $10 for the cleaner. Only thing I wish you were more clear on was the removal process. I broke one of the two tabs on the cover. But it was easier than I thought. Felt like I was driving Miss Daisy with my gf in the back seat. 😁👍

I was already looking for the switch online, and although mine is either cheap or cloned a lot at $16 I decided to check KZread first and came across your video. I just so happen to have that exact can of that electronic cleaner in the garage, rolling around for years probably, no idea what I last used it on. I noticed opposite corners of the switch had a little opening when you moved it and I sprayed the cleaner right in there, toggled it left/right for a while, and it worked great! I had some corrosion on a button that I hadn't even noticed giving me issues and sprayed them all just to be sure it won't give me issues. Thanks for the video!

Thanks so much for sharing. I just tried the very steps you covered on my 2013 Ford Explorer and IT WORKED!!! My driver's side seat reclines upward now after connecting the switch back again. Much appreciated

Frigging awesome. It took 10 minutes to fix it after watching your video. Thanks a million.

Had the same problem today..seat reclined...wouldn't come up...worked good!!

DUDE! I have a 2012 f250 doing this same thing and I bought some qd electric cleaner literally last week for my trailer connection. I tried this and it worked!

Thanks for the video. The passenger seat on my 2013 F-350 was stuck in the recline mode. I followed your suggestions and the seat works like new again!

This video was very helpful! The passenger seat in my 2010 F150 had the exact same issue, where the seat would recline but wouldn't go back up. This was one of the first videos that I watched. I followed every step, and it worked like a charm. Thank you!

2009 F150 Lariat passenger seat was stuck in recline position. Followed steps , and working perfectly now. Thanks!

Worked like a charm!!! Thank you so so so very much for posting this my husband was in awe I got it working after doing what you said!

Electric spray cleaner worked!!!! So my 2014 F150 FX4 passenger seat was not tilting back, even though it did all the other functions. First I disconnected the power underneath the seat because I didn't want to accidentally push the tilt button forward in case this trick didn't work. You really have to push the black plastic tab up hard, right behind the grey swing arm, in order to drop the grey swing arm to removed the power. Once disconnected, I popped off the 2 necessary seat adjustment control buttons and followed your directions from there. Thank you !!!

@@tristanfallis6699 It 100% worked and still works right now. Just like in the video. You just have to spend the time carefully taking it all apart. Better than spending $165 per hour at the dealership and then having them tell you to replace the whole board switch.

It totally worked for us. We couldn't find the exact module. Before this fix, we were able to take the driver's side off and adjust the passenger seat with the drivers side module.

This totally worked on the Lincoln MKX 2007, thanks for sharing this, great video friend! Part was 149 online...

Just fixed my passenger side seat in my 09'. It would decline but not incline. A couple of squirts of contact cleaner and she is back to normal. Thanks!

I just did this and it worked! I had to do it a few times though so don’t get discouraged if it doesn’t work the first time. I would just spray it at first but then I sprayed and moved the switch at the same time and that’s when it started to work!

I did this 2 years ago on my drivers seat and it is still working fine today. Highly recommend trying this first!

Nice video trent. I didnt see how you removed the switch in the first place but seems like you might have just pried off the bottom first. Thanks for sharing.

I got a 2014 Ford F-150 same problem wouldn’t recline forward or move the seat forward on the passenger side just would go back both ways did all the steps and for some reason it’d work for a bit then stop it kept doing it then when I put it all together and it did the same thing I was having the same problem and what would you recommend doing?

This must be a known issue with ford. I have a 2017 ford expedition and the middle ine wont go down. Thank you for this video i will definitely try this first!

How do I get the switches off to replace the drivers side bezel? The trim around my buttons is broken. Do they just pop off?

I’m having an issue with the incline and decline of my driver side seat of my 2014 Ford Escape. Should this help fix ? The other switches work. It’s just the incline and decline that’s not working

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks

if my memory pre sets on the driver side both work, but none of the other buttons do. and the fuses are also fine, this means the switch is bad?

In a couple years, when my channel has millions of subs and my goal of "fixing the world" one broken thing at a time, you can look back and say, "I was one of his first comments" ;)

I’m having the same problem with the driver seat of my 2017 CMax which issues basically the same switch assembly.. I’m going to give this a try and comment back..

How did you get the switch panel off to fix that?

My electric seat button (for the back) stop working, it will only go backwards but not forward. So I got on KZread and your video was the first one that I saw and I went ahead and removed everything cleaned it and guess what it worked!! Didn’t spend no money only took like 10 min!!
