pringle2323 Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Need a little help, I have a 2004 SC 430. The driver side seat memory buttons no longer work, but the passenger side ones do. This is strange because they were working up until about two weeks ago. Checked the fuse boxs under the dash on both driver and passenger side, and the small fuse box on passenger side under hood. Problem is I do not know what the seat memory would be abbreviated as :cries: . Or do I have it all wrong is it something else, entirely. Would appreciate any help, always open to suggestions. I live 200 miles from nearest dealer, and don't want to make a wasted trip. Thanks :whistles: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Dee Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Have you checked the fuse? I have exact same issue.

I plan on taking it to the dealership because my factory warranty is about to run out. Yea I have, I called myself checking, all the fuses on both the driver and passenger side, under the dash, and also the fuse panel under the hood. I guess I'm just going to have to go to the dealer. :cries: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toyofreak Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 If the seat motor is not letting the seat move via up or down the memory will not work for that seat. Check to see if the seat moves in all directions by manually making the seat move with the buttons controls. This will tell at least where the problem is.

The seat moves in every direction, so the problem lies in the buttons themselves, the brain, or a fuse somewhere on the car. I actually go to the dealer tomorrow, so hopefully the problem will be fixed. Thanks for everyone that read and tried to help I certainly do appreciate.

Anything electronic that tends to go wrong usually needs to be reset by disconnecting the battery. I always had luck doing that with all my memory, rear view side mirrors electronic issues. Try that it might work. P.S. - You'll loose all your preset radio stations, but it might be worth it. Good Luck, Blaise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pringle2323 Posted February 2, 2008 Author Share Posted February 2, 2008 actually went to the dealer and had them fix the problem. Tried to talk to a mechanic after the problem was fixed with the memory seat buttons, and Lexus dealership would not let me talk with him said he was extremely busy. Went to store to get gas and a cup of coffee fro the road, low and behold a mechanic from the dealership. I asked the guy about it and he was actually the one who fixed the problem and performed the 30,000 maintance. He said that was all it was. He told me to disconnect the battery both positive and negative posts, wait about five minutes then reconnect. (Side note move driver side seat all the way back and back of seat farther back than parallel). Reconnect the battery negative first, then positive. Put key in ignition start move seat forward until beep is made, then move back of seat forward till beep is made. After the two beeps are heard buttons should work. This guy was really helpful unlike the dealership. Hopes this helps someone in the future. Need a little help, I have a 2004 SC 430.

TomWoodLexus Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Thats weird that you couldn't speak with him. I mean, I am always covered in work and I go up to the waiting area to talk to people all the time! I like people to know what is going on with their car and what I am doing. This isn't a chevy dealership now........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAlfromCal Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I just had this problem with my 2007 ES350. I was about to order the control unit when I read this string of notes. I followed the disconnect--reconnect--move-seat-foward protocol, and it worked! Thank you, Pringle!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
