I’ve got a 2015 Duramax with powered seats, but my passenger seat won’t recline up or down. The motor seems to be trying to move it, but it’s stuck leaned back. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
Sounds like it might be jammed or the motor could be struggling. Have you checked for any obstructions?
If the motor is trying but not moving, it could be a wiring issue too. Maybe take a look under the seat.
Sometimes the seat tracks can get clogged with dirt. Try cleaning them out and see if that helps.

Good call! I’ve seen that happen before. A little grease might do the trick too.
You might need to remove the seat cover to get a better look at the motor and gears. It could be something simple.
If all else fails, it might be worth taking it to a shop. They can diagnose it quicker if it’s a bigger issue.
