seat fuse blew, found frayed wires
The seat fuse has been failing repeatedly so I pulled the seat and looked for frayed wire. First guess was the large bundle just above the worm screw as the fabric covering was all tore up and there were cuts in the plastic surround.
Nope no wires damaged there
Looked around some more and found the white/blue and white./red wires damaged. These get pushed against the rear bolt of the seat raise motor and get pinched when you lower the seat to bottom position.

I just found my frayed wire drivers side.....yeah! While I have the seat out I put electrical tape on the three sides of the seat module board and will be putting something? To give more flex to the module housing when I reinstall the module under the seat.
My passenger seats back rest is stuck in the most forward position. Everything else works on the seat but the backrest. This was due to wear at the edge of the board that caused a burnout. Sending tomorrow to the "module experts" in Jackson FLA. fingers crossed, to repair it. Darrell can fix trace wires but I have what looks like a blown capacitor. I think.
Whats the best thing to use to cover the bare wire? I'm thinking clear 2 part epoxy on the bare part and then some electrical tape.Or should I use the cloth tape and where would a fella get that? What will you do?

I'd probably use liquid electrical tape on the bare part and wrap with a self fusing electrical tape. Both available on Amazon.
The plastic on my seat module case top had already broken away around the holes, so I attached the module to the seat with a strip of "industrial strength" adhesive velcro instead. It's been like that almost a year now with no problems - it allows much more flex to the module mounting and it's easier to get the module out and back in again.
