ok i dont know if this is a noob question. but ive never had power seats before and im planning on removing the seats tomorrow for a good cleaning. can anyone tell me if the motor is bolted to the seat or the floor. any help would be great, thanks.

 

it is bolted to the seat, after you remove the 4 bolts that hold the seat down, just lift the seat up a little bit and you will see the connector that gives the seat power, just unplug it and pull the seat out, oh and for the passenger side seat, make sure you do not pull the handle to move the rails once the seat is out of the car, because it only moves one rail, and the other rail only moves with it when the seat is bolted in your car, or if you do have to move the rails when the seat is out, make sure that both rails match up perfectly when you go to put it back in

 

good tip mitch............

 

never yanked out my seats before either, will the side airbags be a problem?

 

side airbags? there are side airbags in our car?

 

There are no side airbags on our car, the power seat has clips and wiring, you'll have to undo the ones from the switches as well

 

thanks for the help. much appreciated...as for the side air bags. im assuming those are on the second geners. i know for sure i dont have any...

 

oh sorry nut, thought you were on a second gen

 

one day....(sigh) one day..

 

i wouldnt touch seats with side airbags. you can tip off the SRS light.

 

Meh airbags are nothing scary. Just disconnect the battery before you unplug any yellow harnesses. Then of course make sure they are reconnected before you hook the battery back up. I gutted an entire 05 civic Si interior sunday for a full system, just made sure I disconnected the battery before i pulled those yellow plugs.

 

hehe yellow is funny
guess it means caution?

 

not a problem.
just disconnect the battery for xtra safety. when u plug it back in and turn the car on, the SRS light will be on.
and u'll have to reset it.

Airbags are not that easy to tip off.

 

I wonder if 2nd gen CL seats fit in a First gen....

 

lol ill trade ya

 

With modification just about anything will fit

 

ha youll trade me? seriously. haha ok whats wrong with your CL, tranny pooping out? engine blown?

 

but has anyone successfully done it yet, on azine anyways? cuz i am very interested if it is possible

 

Nope, we've seen: S2000, RSX, Bride, and Recarro, that's about it
