Dear Jim Lee,

Hope this finds you well. Bravo on restoring front-to-back movement!! I hope that before you removed the driver's seat, you made safe the SRS system, by removing the negative battery cable clamp from the negative battery terminal, so cutting power to the SRs sensor!! An airbag deployment can be lethal: it is a controlled explosion.

The driver's seat has a computer (a 4"x6" black box) attached to the under-seat wires. This computer has a master relay, and six smaller relays. These direct power to the various motors, when the seat control knobs are moved. If one of these relays is stuck in the open position, power will not flow to the motor controlled by that relay.

Solution: get thee to a slavage yard, and get a working driver's seat computer. If you bring along a portable 12-volt power source and some wire, you should be able to test the switch, before you remove the seat.

Hope this helps.

Yours faithfully,

Spook
