Hey, fellas!! I need help... The passenger seat on my CL its stuck wont move back/forward , But I do hear a clicking noise. Its anoying because it got stuck all the way forward . I appreciate any recomendations or help you guys can share with me . Thank you all!!!!!!

 

i have a simular problem the bottom moves back/forth, but the part where u rest your back doesnt tilt, i hear the clicking sound too, but nothing moves. I went to Acura and they told me it could be expensive to fix, and that they charge 109$/h just to look at it

 

Screw the dealer! I know they will charge me just to look at it. $95 here In Boston. One of my boy wants to swap the motor (power seat) driver side to the passenger side sit just to adjust the way I want it and then swap it back. Its annoying it was working fine this past weekend, I'm so pissed!!! Thank you anyways for your time..

 

I had that problem. Try to lift the lever for the seat to go forward a couple of times. Make sure that the velor fabric didnt get caught up in the wheels. I t worked for me.

 

Thanks a lot!!! I will try my luck and do that.

 

same problem.
wondering if it worked????

 

Nah! I tried but no luck on my side. Ima have to remove the seat and check whats wrong with it because its pissin' me the **** off!.

 

There should be a plug on the bottom... It was loose a long time ago and the seat would act funny sometimes and so I pushed it in more and its been fine ever since... I dunno if that helps?

 

I just lost the power in my seat too. I pulled a plastic bottle that was wedged underneath, then it just clicked and didn't move. Luckily the seat was all the way back so I could see under and was able to just push the plug back in.

 

i have da same problem and its soo annoying and it happen after the local police did a search thru my car and i guess they f***** up my seat those bastards , does anyone have a resolution for this?

 

Same thing happened to me....... I leave the car at the dealership to replace tranny # 2 and get it back to find my seat standing stiff up..... will not recline at all.

Of course they refused to take blame and when i asked how much to replace? They just said "expensive"

 

I've tried to mess around and didnt get any good luck. My brother pulled the back panel on the seat to check if there was something stuck and didnt find nothing. It's weird because I hear more clicks (noise) than before I'm hoping maybe the next few days will work......

I will keep you guys post knowing that theres few members here with the same problem ;-)

 

Hey bro.. Let me know what you figure out. Same thing is going on with my dad's cl but it's the DRIVER's SEAT.. can you imagine how much it sucks? I can't even get to the seat bolts to remove the seat.

 

Exact same problem here.

 

This is one solution, it is simple, and cost efficient.
Find a cl replacement seat from a auto wreckers.
take out your existing (non-working) seat, and replace with the new/used
seat which you have purchased. very simple procedure, unscrew the 4 screws, and disconnect the cables, and opposite to install. Z

I found a A- seat, mine which before would be a C+, in all $174.54 spent

 

My passenger seat just failed on me this past weekend! It was working fine and then all of a sudden -- no forward or backward motion. The switch will still adjust the back of the seat and the side lever still releases, but the motor will not power the seat forward.

I was thinking it might be a fuse because the tilt went out in the mirror at the same time. After a little research I think it might be off center in the adjustment switch. I guess I'll find out in a little bit.

Other than to start combing junkyards, does anyone have any suggestions how to fix the passenger seat adjuster? Getting aggravated!

 

I'll join the club, my pass seat reclines, but wont move back or forward.

 

Found out it was the motor. I called the dealer here in Boston and they charging me $96.25 for it plus labor. Few friends had mention to me that the TL has the same exactly motor for it, so if any of you guys have been searching (YUNK-YARDS) dont hesitate to purchase it because TL are more popular than CL of course TL's 99-03...

 

thanks for the heads up SIK, im sure thats the problem in my pass seat, should buy an extra motor, I would be pissed if my seat got stuck all the way at the front when loading something in the rear, and look like a penis driving down the road, with seat all the way up.

 

my pass seat works fine, but the driver stays in one position.

same problem?

 

Count me as another with a drivers seat that doesn't recline forward or backwards but it works all other ways.

 

Yup! Same problem...

 

I just fixed mine yesterday.
turned out, it wasn't the motor. the motor worked fine.
It was the whole rotating mechanism that was rusted because i guess the previous owner had it in one place for ages.

I used some PB penetrating spray and broke the rust down. the sprayed it w/ some grease. Now it works perfectly fine.
