Mine has the problem every so often where it just doesnt work. Try again later and its fine.... Irritating at best.

Check the large plug/harness under the seat, it may not be connected securely. Don't unplug the yellow one if your car has one, that's for the side airbag.

Forgot about the perfect world...lol

As for the intermittent issue...could be a dirty switch also. Try some contact cleaner in the switch and operate it at the same time.

You should have a fuse puller in the passenger compartment fuse box:

So i replaced the fuse and the seat was able to move back and forth! I was stoked. Then i attempted the lumbar support (which previously wasn't working) and i heard the motor attempt to move the lumbar support. It never moved, so i thought, cool; ive got a functional power seat at least. Then it stopped working. I went and checked the fuse and it was blown yet again! What is going on!?

Lumbar switch/motor is probably shorted or the motor is restricted to where it causes an overload.

This. If I were you, I wouldn't touch the lumbar support or you'll probably keep blowing it. And fixing it will be pricey as stated above unless through a junk yard or online somewhere possibly like rockauto.

Good luck.
