Electric driver seat problem

Hello,

My UK Specs Supra has a problem with its electric driver seat, it will only go forward or backward on the left rail, the right won't budge.

Tilt function works fine.

Any idea what the problem could be ?

Thanks

mine went like that & it was the worm drive had to buy another seat rail, but you can adjust manually with a socket on the end of the shaft.

look under the seat to see if you can find a white plastic screw about the size of a 5 pence piece on the left side of the seat. Screw it back in and it will work again.

Mine didn't.

As said above, the drives are plastic and wear out after a while. Best to try and pick up a second hand seat and swap the frames. Easy enough to do.

Do a search for seat in the thread title......

Thanks guys I'll see what I can do!

theres a white little box on end of rail inside this is plastic gears that are won out. u have to take that little spindle(gears) to a gears tool maker and they will fix for you cheaper than a second hand seat good as new. my dads a mechanic and he discovered that. no one else knows;)

supra seats all have that same problem with one rail going bust and everone has thrown them out until my dad found a way so helpin yas out because i went thru trouble to find second hand seat in my area any thing else just ask hopefully fixed bud

I made a new steel gear for the motor gearbox last month, worm was fine and works as good as new now

Are manually sliding supra seats really uncommon? I have been looking for one for ages so I don't run into this problem again, mine hasn't worked for months. It's quicker to move the seat manually anyway so can't see the point in getting another.

Try and find a Euro spec passenger seat
