16 way power seat

[Booreatta]

i have a 16 way seat and the thigh part of the seat quit

it is stuck in the out position and it wont move either way

has anyone else had this problem and how did you fix it. i dont

know anything about seats but i guess that it is just motors and wires,

but do you have to remove the seat and how hard is it. any known tricks.

thanks for any info

The seat is easy to remove, only four bolts (2 in front and 2 at rear, just move the seat all the way to the forward position to get to the rear bolts and then to the rear position to see get to the front bolts, then tilt the seat so you can undo the wiring. (2 wire hook ups.)

If you raise the seat all the way up,You might be able to undo the cable shafts from the motors without removing the seat,and then with the cable inserted in the side that is stuck you can turn it by hand to move it to the proper position. I have done this on my 90, and it was easy.

Hope this helps. Charlie B

From my experience what you have is simply a switch problem. On two occasions over the past 6 years I've had the thigh support working only in the "Out" direction.

With care these switches can be disassembled, cleaned and reassembled. Because of their location and being subject to rain, dust etc. the internal contacts do corrode, so no Big Deal.

Sometimes the plug pulls out of the drive motor.
