JamieP Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Hey guys, my seat wont slide forward or back, back part still works. Do the motors go on these or is it likely to be a switch? easy to fix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdistc Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Hey guys, my seat wont slide forward or back, back part still works. Do the motors go on these or is it likely to be a switch? easy to fix? Have you tried "gently persuading" it with a large hammer? But seriously, yes the motors are known to die (if the seat is old enough). You can swap the motor out though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewen Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Ive seen a thread on here with a seat that had a stripped thread on the worm screw....but if you cant hear the motor running, its probably not that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian C Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Before spending cash, unplug the motor and multimeter the plug first, see if power is going to it (when the switch is pressed of course). Might be wiring or the switch -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
