With all due respect to your age and experience, please read the posts. Constructive and informative posts would be appreciated instead of flippant posts. Please direct you comments to Pizzaguy as well.

By me:
2) "Short" has taken on a reference much like referring to all tissues as Kleenex.

By Pizzaguy:
2) Agreed.


Pizzaguy, again, with all due respect, you set the tone with your comments. Capital letters, yelling and long posts do not prove competency. I came back at you with the same level of "candor" you expressed to me. Either check your attitude in at the front door and be polite or expect the reaction you got. I thought I was polite in my response to your post.

"1) So is your aim just to criticize my post or did you have a helpful suggestion? I simply said he has to start troubleshooting his problem - what else is there to do? Even if BOTH seats are acting up, you won't fix either until you logically trace the problem. I DO admit that getting to the back of the switches is a pain. He can do it himself, or he can pay someone to do it."

Please note my comment: "Get a wiring diagram and see if there is a wire common to both seats."
No one reads and understands, it seems, a continuing thread. Everyone is eager to jump on a single word or sentence.

The following is exactly what I was inferring in my original post. How else would someone find the problem?

"But we will get no where until SOMEONE gets a voltmeter out and finds out what is missing - a ground or power. Now, if you have an alternative way of troubleshooting electrical problems please educate me. I've been doing this for a living for 30 years, sure wouldn't want to be missing out on something!"

To both of you, do you think this thread has helped the original poster at all? I think not. I'm sure he's pretty disappointed with all the responses to date.

Regards
