Default Power seats no longer working. Help please!

Neither of my power seats are no longer working - they both worked a couple of days ago. According to the fuse diagram, the fuse is #11 and is shared with the power doorlocks. The doorlocks are still working though. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I messed with mine and the wiring just fell apart. Check the plug underneath.

I've the same problem, the seats was working two days ago and now none.
Nothing movement, both sides, but the strange think it's that the 12V power arrive at the connector under every seats.

Any ideas?!!??!

I'm having the exact same problem with my XJ I just bought. I measure 12V at the connector coming from the floor and also 12V when the switches are pressed on the connector to the motor. But no movement.

When I connect 12V directly to the connector that is normally connect to the cable from the floor, they immediately work!

So it looks like there is 12V but not enough current? Could it be a problem with the ground-wiring? Anyone know how the power-seat cables are routed underneath the carpet/floor?

Follow the wire for the driver's seat toward the fusebox. IIRC there's a plug in the driver's side kick panel. It could have too much resistance in it.
