I have a 2016 Chevy Equinox. My power seat button partially stopped working. It moves the front of the seat up and down and back and forth but it won't raise the back part of the seat which I use the most as I can't sit low to drive. Could it be a fuse?

If it's not the switch then it's likely a motor.

SOURCE: power front seat won't go back and forth

U will have to replace the entire power seat transmission, there is no other way to get the part, I know it sucks but that is the way it is, try finding a used unit, or swap the passenger side to the drivers side.

SOURCE: power seat switch

It is most definitely the seat slide motor. Most infiniti drivers seats have three different motors. I30, I35's and QX4's all had problems with the seat slide motors. You can tap on the slide motor which is under the front of the seat and it will probably work for a little while, but it WILL stop working completely. There was actually a Technical Service Bulletin regarding this issue because there were so many vehicles that had this problem. I hate to see that guy waste money trying to get a circuit board rebuilt that absolutely will not solve the problem.

SOURCE: Driver seat back won't raise after its been reclined

The control switch has developed a problem (intermittent contact or just broke inside) Replace the switch. That should fix it.

SOURCE: The electric front seats both stopped moving

Check the fuse box for a blown fuse, both seats may operate on one fuse depending on the model of vehicle and the fuse may be located either under the dash on the drivers side or in the engine compartment on the drivers side.

Chevy equinox 2016 lift gate. New button and New latch, works about 5 percent of the time at best. Has steady voltage going to the latch but still only releases every 30 pushes even when bypassed.

In link below of owners manual starting page 223 fuse box diagram I see two fuses for lift gate, one for module and the other is for logic.

On video below it talk about adjustment of latch. If not opening right move latch around and attempt to open liftgate..
You might try closing latch with door open and push button to see latch open up. If it opens fine it could be binding when door is actually closed and latch needs adjusting.

I have a 17 Terrain which does not have power lift gate. Something I notice in the video was if you have power lift gates it says to step back when opening and closing because there are sensors to prevent someone from being hit with the door.

2005 Chevy Equinox Power Seat Switch Diagram!

You see the circuit breaker, supplies voltage to power seat switch, You see the wire color? On hinge side of driver door is probably a wiring harness, probably has a protective rubber boot covering. Pull the boot back far enough to see wire colors, use a testlight, have to penetrate the insulation to get at the wiring. If no voltage, either wire is broken or check for voltage at the circuit breaker. Black wire is ground, check that also.

You see the wire colors for seat motors, those are voltage and ground, depending on which way the motor is moving.

Front drivers seat will not slide back and forth.

No, check for a blockage in the seat track. You have one power source for all seat functions. If it works one way but not the others it is either a bad switch, or bad motor, or a blockage.

How to remove the front seat of a chevy equinox?

Haven't worked on yours, but all the newer GM's have two bolts in the back part of the seat, at the floor board. Push the seat forward, remove the covers , if any, remove the bolts, tilt the seat up and pull back on it. This should get it out.

2005 equinox left front window some times will go up and down , however most times times it seems to stick won't go up or down unless you help it to start moving. Should you stop it half way it seems to...

I have a similar problem with the same window. The window doesn't stop moving but it tilts forward until it won't close properly leaving a 1 inch gap between the top left corner of the window and the door frame from the perspective of sitting in the drivers seat. I had the motor and regulator replaced but to no avail.
I took off the door panel, everything looked fine. Took off all the weather strips and the driver side mirror. Behind the mirror there is the top portion of the metal guide the edge of the window rides up and down. it was partially cracked and bulged out beneath the crack. I gently pounded it back in and cleaned out the guides on both sides with window cleaner and WD-40. The issue will not be completely fixed until I replace the metal guide but it runs much smoother now.
