Ball was falling out. I had to pull the spring in the white cover out a bit to ensure it pushes the ball down enough and it works fine. Thank you very much for this as I couldn't get right hand driver replacement but was able to fix it thanks to your video
Thank you so much for posting this. Hyundai quoted my mom $750 to diagnose and replace the switch, which is what they said the problem was. They quoted the switch at $500 part cost. I worked at Hyundai previously and the switch part costs $50. Dealerships up charge significantly. My husband and I took apart her seat yesterday, as her “upward” on the recline seat stopped working. It was one of the little metal balls out of place. Fixed the metal ball, and it works perfectly. Thank you so much.
@@hariswaqar2500 you take it apart as in the video all the way to the motherboard… when you pop open the place where the metal balls are at, gently get something to grab them with such as tweezers and fix them back into place. This video is excellent just follow every step!
Oh man thank you for this!! 😢 Hyundai told me yesterday that I needed an entirely new seat! $2600 + $400 labor! Mine won't go backwards. I hope it's just the same problem you had.
Cannot believe this has worked, absolute legend for sharing this! Have just saved myself £1500 as quoted to fix it! My seat wouldn’t recline forward. Was stuck using a cushion to support my back up.
Thanks for this video, I too had this issue on my 2017 Tucson and had to get roadside assistance service (RAA) out. They diagnosed faulty switch. After watching your video I decided that the ball bearings may have moved. My solution was to use a large rubber mallet and while holding the lever in the forward position gently tap the area where the switch was located and after less than six thumps the seat motor engaged. Probably saved me a small fortune if I had taken the car to a mechanic and they replaced the switch. 🙏👍
I’m so old I used to use Haynes manuals to repair my cars, I haven’t worked on a car in decades….until today! Once I figured out how to pop the panel off I was able open up the switch and clean the contacts, put the switch back together (lol, those ball bearings) and it works like a treat!
Wow we did it step by step Mobile mechanic wanted 100 and 150 for the switch You saved us $250.00 Had a great time with my daughter fixing her car Ty You rock ❤❤❤❤
ok si funciono eso me cobraba la agencia de satelite 4800 pesos por cambiar todo el control solo un desarmador plano uno de cruz y un multimetro lo arregle. muchas gx

Hi, I am having the same issue. Can you tell me exactly how you fixed the metal ball and where?

@@Inheartsforever Sounds good. Thank you so much. I hope this helps with my seat repair.

This is my problem too. Hyundai quoted me $800 to replace seat motor.
I had the dealership knock off $1k from my 2012 KIA Optima due to this issue and I fixed it for free by following your directions. Thanks!!!
Corrosion on the terminal was the fix!!! Thanks for walking me through it. Greatly appreciated 👍
I came back many weeks later to thank you for giving me a direction to fix the issue vs replacement. It worked like a charm! Thank you!
Fantastic, it worked. The balls were in place but the contacts were dirty. Thanks so much it was easier than I thought. Take it slow.
Thank you its 5am and I just went out to my car and did this and everything works now!

This makes me happy
Worked like a charm! Cleaned all 8 contact points to be on the safe side and placed balls where they should go.
Thank you!!
I opened the switches panel up like you said and greased it and put it back together. Yes the seat goes up now. Thank you❤

My problem like you! What did you do?
@@user-gd4yd6nq3g They probably had to buy another unit.
Hi, is there a video on how to remove this whole piece from the seat?
I don't remember if i made one or not.
Thank you so much sr!!
