listy Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 MY DRIVERS SEAT IS STUCK RIGHT BACK!!! i've had a look at all the threads regarding this matter, but cant see any of the bolts referred to in previous threads. i've taken the plastic cover off, and found a 12mm bolt, but this only comes off, there is no seat movement at all. I can see two alan key like bolts on the door side, but dont want to start unscrewing random things. Can anyone help me out with a diagram or pic of what i'm looking for to mechanically move the seat forward? Cheers guys Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nevins Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Also when you operate the switch, can you here the motor move or not. If not it may be the switch gone and you can hot wire the seat. If it does operate with the seat then its the gears gone on the runner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted December 21, 2010 Author Share Posted December 21, 2010 chepstow. the motor makes no noise, so just wanted to move the seat forward to get at the rear runner bolts. thinking of just swapping out the electric runners with manual ones.

nevins Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Use jumper wires to see if you can get the seat to operate, via the switch multiplug, if the seat moves its the switch gone. if not then you are going to need to wind it back manually via the front of the seat fella.

nevins Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 iirc its 12 or 14 mm, and it eill be faceing the pedals. Its basically the end of the shaft that adjusts the seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraDan24 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 I got in mine yesterday and it would only move backwards until i got as far as it would go and it finally allowed me to move it forwards. Hope mines not on the way out as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevins Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 The seats run on plastic worm drives, and they wear and then slip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
