I wish that it was just the switch mechanism. It is what I have read is a common problem with Power everything seats. The left side works but the right side is not able to move so all the motor can do is move the left side up or back a few inches. The problem is that the guy who had it before me must have been very very tall because it is now stuck almost as far back as it could be on the forward/backward scale. I would be happy if I could just move it up permanently a few inches because I am 5'9" and my wife is shorter and I can drive the car in the fixed position that it is in but it ain't very comfortable.

I removed the seat today which was surprisingly easy, and I have read some descriptions of fixing that cable by somehow removing it and cutting the casing then reinserting it into the mechanism that actually allows this monstrosity to turn but I do not see how to remove the cable end and it all looks tight in its place anyway. I was hoping that it would be obviously stretched out or disconnected but it looks perfectly normal.

Has anyone ever moved the seat manually just to leave it in a fixed position?
I would be glad to do that.


Thanks very much,
Jim Lee
