I just recently did the same exact thing in my Camaro (super similar to this Tahoe cause Chevy) but I didn't have to replace the switch. The problem my car had was it would recline forward but not backwards. So obviously it isn't the motor, just the switch. So I removed it the same way, got the switch box, opened that up as well, and inspected the internals of the switch. It seemed to have had a pin that wasn't making contact to the board so I just pushed it back into place. I also filed the switch a little on the sides where the posts are to allow a little more travel to the switch just in case the problem was that the switch didn't go far enough for it to register the command. Re-installed it, and it works like new again. You may have had a different problem but I just advise the viewers to try my method before having to buy a new switch. I SHOULD'VE soldered the pin that wasn't making contact to prevent it from happening again but it was so easy that I'm confident I'd be able to fix it again. Good Luck guys! I was ecstatic when I fixed mine. So many electricians bullshitted me with prices and excuses in why they couldn't do it. Doing it yourself is the best

Thanks for making the vid I have search the internet high and low trying to diagnose what is wrong with my seat on my 2011 Silverado where the forward and back will work but the rear of the seat bottom won't move up (it's in the all the way down position) but it makes a noise like it's trying to work when I push the button to adjust the seat bottom up.
