Where in the heck is circuit breaker 601-20? It’s for the power seat on my 2011 CVPI.

Wait a min 🤦🏻‍♂️

Maybe it’s CB 601 and it’s 20 amps. Mine must be weak because it trips when I use the seat with me sitting in it. Seats are from an ‘08

Circuit Breaker 601, 20amp.
It's one of the two silver things in engine compartment fuse box. The other (CB602) is for the power windows.

Is it tripping for all seat movements, or just forward/back?
Try cleaning and lubricating the seat track. It's also possible the motor is bad, and drawing excessive amps.

I found it. Ordered another one just in case this one is weak. I think the track needs lubed, but I really don’t want to take the seat out AGAIN. I’m trying to drop this car off at a consignment car lot tomorrow.

Been fighting and intermittent recline forward too... dang pin in the harness is flaky. Got it bypassed with a spade connector presently but it doesn’t like to work when you’re sitting in the seat. So I think my weight plus dry parts is causing excessive current draw. Could just up the breaker to 30, they don’t seem to make a 25 in that size, but don’t want smoke to come out of the seat during a test drive lol.
