    Default My Seat

    Hello All,

    A few months ago I got rid of the twist from my driver's seat. However, when I reinstalled the seat it was too high and wouldn't come down. When I press the appropriate button I hear clicking (like gears almost engaging). I've finally got some time to fix the problem so

    Here's my question...

    Underneath the front of the seat there are two motors (#2 in pic). The rear motor adjusts the tilt in the seat and those were the cables I adjusted.

    1. Does the front-most motor control the height of the seat?

    2. If not, then where do I adjust or what do I replace?





    Thanks!

    Yes, follow the motor's cables back to the box(es). Sounds like the cable ends just got unseated.

    Good luck, buddy!
