Memory Seat not working

[tim_deals]

Hi

I have a LEXUS RX450h (2012) and the driver side memory seat SET function is not working. I bought the car 2nd hand a few years ago and has not worked since then. 

It works fine on the passenger side but not the driver side.

The driver Seat can be adjusted manually using the driver side seat controls (also the steering and side mirrors), but cannot SET it. The SET  buttons are dead.

I have tried

(1). Driver Side-

• Press STAR x2, Auto in 'P' position and  foot off brake;
• Press SET+1, SET+2, SET+3. 
• Nothing beeped, nothing sets.

Not sure what's the matter and I have not changed the battery.

I also tried a method as was on another forum i.e. to reset the the function, and this has not worked either

• Press STAR x2, Auto in 'P' position and  foot off brake;
• Move seat all the way front
• move seat all the way back
• move the backrest all the way reclined forward
• move the backrest all the way reclined backward
• move back rest to desired position and 
• Press SET+1 or SET+2 or SET+3. 

Any ideas.

Second, I have tried this from another forum ....  DID NOT WORK EITHER for ME!

WARNING: While doing this the car battery ran down. Had to jump start and recharge battery before trying again.

DID NOT WORK either : 

 

The ignition switch was put in ON mode. (foot off the brake, press Start twice, not running, all lights on dash lit).

1). While I stood outside the car so I did not obstruct seat motion, the seat was moved back as far as it would go.

It stopped going back, a few clicks so I took my finger off the switch, then started it back again. Few more clicks. I didn not hear any beeps.

2). Then I did the same thing moving the seat all the way forward until it would not move any further forward.

3). Next, I tilted the seat back all the way. A few clicks at the end and release then re-press the button a few more clicks, no beeps.

4). Then I did the same tilting the seat all the way forward.

After this, the seat memory buttons  DID not work for me but for the author it did as he said.

(I did not do this for the seat height or seat bottom projection.) 

 

Passenger side still operational and have all of the 3 settings. Driver side buttons still dead.

is it possible your seat memory motor is dead?

 

can you confirm that when you press the set and 1 or 2 button (to set memory) there is a beeping noise?
