R side of driver seat not working..stuck in forward Position
Just acquired this 93 SC3 5 speed..the right side of the seat was getting stuck so I was going to remove the seat.. Like an idiot I moved it to the furthest forward position. Now it is stuck and I can not reach the bolts to remove the seat..
The motor is getting power but only the left side of the seat is sliding on the rail.. Any suggestions or advice is greatly appreciated |
You will need a long phillips screwdriver
Under the seat looking from the front towards the rail that is not moving, you will find a phillips head screw which you can turn to manually operate the seat forward/backward. You will operate the forward/backward switch a little, then move the other side (not working rail) to manually move it to match until you are at the desired seat position.

Hero,
I was so wrong about the phillips. I see it in your picture, I circled it in red. 8mm, 10mm? The likely issue is a small white plastic nut that came out is causing the issue. When I finally removed my seat to replace it because of upholstery issue, I found the plastic plug that managed to come loose under the seat. On side of my seat rail was also not functioning. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clu...89d35e8dc8.jpg

I was able to remove the front right bolt by pulling up on the seat and having a friend reach in with a wrench.. I am not able to find the screw you speak of.. In your opinion could the issue be in the rail and not the motor? all three motors work, only the right rail is non op..

Figured the bolt was what you meant to be the phillips

Thanks again for your help..When I put a socket on the bolt and began to tighten it, there was no movement on the rail..I didn't want to break any thing so I stopped...I will look into removing the white plastic and see if there is any visible damage..
