2002 G500 --> Drivers seat only slides forward
Vehicle is in mint condition but I'm having a few issues...
1. The driver's side seat control only slides forward, will not go back. The last time it happened I was in it and I had to slide it all the way forward then wait for numerous restarts, whatever it was to make it slide all the way back ONCE so I haven't touched it. ALL other seat controls except for the seat HEAT work.
2. Seat heat in the front seats has gone out at the exact same time. Any ideas? I want to get this fixed before winter, even if I have to bite the bullet.
3. Passenger's side lock doesn't close properly as I don't think the person that fit a new lock actuator on before me actually set the device in place properly. It's just slightly off so the front passenger door lock sometimes doesn't work, but you can see it's trying to move. I may just buy a new one and be done with it then install from scratch.
just a few things, I can't really think of more at this hour.

1. Search for seat switch cleaning. Typical issue. Remove the seat controls and clean it up with some electrical cleaner spray.
2. Start with the easy stuff, fuses.
3. Sounds like you know the solution. But I'd check the installation before buying a new part.
