GL power folding seat locking solenoid not activating
Hi,
A week after purchasing this GL, while demonstrating the rear power seats, the locking mechanism decided to stop working. The power motor works, the seat goes up and down completely, but when the seat hits the stop, the locking solenoid doesn't fire. The lock is rather loud, and I know for sure that it's not even trying. This isn't a case of something is in the way of the lock and it's not latching. This means that it won't lock in the up or down position, and every time the car is started, the screen displays that reminder that it's not locked.
With the seat folded down, and the rear cargo flap flipped up, I can see the motor assy, and the 4 bolts holding the seat in.
Is there a fix out there for this?
Thanks,
Travis T.
