Hey Y’all! Today we have a tutorial on how to fix a power seat on a 2012 Chevrolet Tahoe (and similar Chevy/GMC vehicles). The motor was whirring and operating perfectly, but the seat wasn’t moving. We found out that the plastic gears were broken and needed to be replaced. Laura takes us through the process of removing and installing gears to fix what could have been an expensive repair. Hope this helps you save time and money as well!

Very good job, from were you gat parts for it.
I appreciate you effort for this video. I have the same issue. However, the chair doesn’t even move forward and backward. I am wondering if I used the same replacement that you used, will it solve the forward and backward thing? Or should I use another replacement?
. Much respect. I am thankful for your effort as I will be tackling this problem myself as soon as the parts arrive.
one website said the battery needed to be disconnected or the airbag will deploy when you remove the seat. True? or false?
Great job….thanks for sharing!
So when it broke down it did not move forward or backwards?
Where did you get the gear from
Your welcome.
Very nice detailed video good repair. Next time I would recommend you wear a face shield, in case of grinding wheel breaks. Also, if you don't mind, I would suggest scoring some grooves down the smooth inside of the gear you jb welded. Just to be sure the jb weld has something to hold on to.
Can you come do mine? I have the same problem. Thanks your video is very informative I might have to try this
Do you have a link for the gear replacement kit?
Good job. Did the original gear have a lubricant in the housing? Where did you buy the new parts.
Good job thanks for the insight
This was very helpful thank you
Awesome video, does this gear fix the front to back motion, my seat will not go forward or back to adjust for my wife ?
Well, I need to do this, and I was hoping it would be less of a pain in the ass, but no such luck, huh. Thanks for the video, and I’ve let my family know not to take what I say while working on this job personally.
