I purchased the vehicle listed above with the seats already not working. I want to finally fix it but don't know where the fuse is located in the truck. Can anybody help?

Hi,

There is a 25-amp circuit breaker in the fuse box on the lower, left side of the dash.

I attached the wiring schematic of the circuit so that you have a reference. Note that in the schematic, power is supplied to the seat controls via an orange wire. I need you to check if that wire has power at the switch.

Also, the last two pics are to help locate the circuit breaker.

Let me know if this helps or if you have questions.

Take care,

joe

Okay, thanks. That was definitely a big help. Come to find out the darn thing didn't even have the seat breaker in it. I just ordered it. I have another question. My A/C works a little bit cool when i drive but as soon as i get to a red light it gets hot. Do you know what that could be?

Hi,

Chances are it is low on freon or the condenser at the front needs cleaning. I would be more than happy to help you, but I have a favor to ask. We try to keep the threads specific to one topic, so they are more helpful to others. Would you consider copying and pasting your new question to a new post? I hope you understand.

Here is a link to start a new post:

Again, I hope you understand.

Take care,

Joe
