    Power seat isnt working in 05 GT doesnt always move when switch is pressed. Tested switch with ohm meter and seems to be working. Looked for a relay but i couldn't see one under the seat like there is on 97-03. Is there one somewhere else or is it just tucked really far up in there? Thanks

    try to follow the wires to the motor and look for damage. test the plug for power at the motor while working the switch. maybe its wires are being worn on.

    or, the motors do go bad.

    I don't think it's the motor just because of the fact that it doesn't feel weak or worn out at all. I suppose there could be a bad spot in the armature but I'm not sure why it would start working all of a sudden. I don't hear any clicking either when I press the switch to move the seat but if I just keep pressing it repeatedly it'll eventually move...sometimes. The wires looked ok when i pulled the switch out to test it but i'll check them again. It has all the symptoms of when my 98 has a bad relay.

    try a new switch maybe. most of the time when you press a switch and it works off and on its the switch. my window switches did this.
