I'm having some difficulty with the driver power seat. It moves back fluently, but when I try to move it up it only moves and inch @ a time. N e 1 else have this problem? I saturated the bloody thing with WD40 and nothing.... Ideas?????

 

my seat does that sometimes too. I have no idea on how to fix it. We both need help.

 

The motor is prob dying out........My motor smokes when I move it back and forth.

 

know if it would b under warrenty???

 

The inching forward is a very common problem with the '97s. There are a couple TSBs about it. A buddy of mine had it happen with his seat, took it to the dealer and they fixed it for him.

Here are some of the TSBs dealing with the power aspects of the seat. There are a couple more about the rear seat access lever not working properly.

quit your whining and go out and buy sparcos

 

Yeah, that would look nice with the leather

 

I have a similar problem. At least I think it's a problem but maybe it's my ignorance. When you pull up the lever on the driver's seat should the seat power forward or stay where it's at? I was under the impression that it was supposed to move forward. It's harder to get my ho's in there when it doesn't move forward.

 

It is suppose to move forward...........if it doesn't then your seat is fucked up.........tell the ho's to get in on the other side.

 

I already got hos in the other side I'm talking the more the merrier. Should I bother gettin the seat fixed or just say fuck it?

 

Put them hoes in da trunk mang! " we don't love em hoes!" :P
