Just realised the drivers seat back won't recline. Don't know if it's the switch or th motor, any tips.
 
Do you mean you used the tilt knob on the side of the seat back and it didnt work ?

Thats a cable setup .. try both sides and try pushing back on the seat back with your hand to relieve pressure then move the knob .. it may be lack of use .

Also try the electric seat back tilt knob to move the back part further forwards and see if that helps.
 
It's not the tilt knob, it's the electric adjustment that's stopped working. Haven't used the car for two years so perhaps it's seized up. !!
 
Aghh okies .. that part is a motor , you should hear a noise like a thud when operateing it if the linkage has jammed .. if not then a switch fault or a feed supply would be my guess.

If makeing a thud noise ..

Large hammer and a block of wood is a possible solution but dont tell anyone i said that .

EDIT ..

Just to say .. be carefull .. beating the crap out of it wont do it any good :D
 
Sledge hammer be ok or will I need something bigger. 🔨
 
Mine didn't work once and it was a loose wire under the drivers seat. There seems to be a control box for the seats under there.
