Check out the wiring diagramm in the on-line Service Manual.

Then run through the wiring on your seat. Just one point theough, does it go back??

 

Dave

yes it will do every thing bar forward

Hi Dave,

 

I guess you're gonna have to remove the seat (only 4 bolts) and check if something has come undone. On mine, ono of the shafts was missing a small connecting pin - easily fixed in 5 mins.

Yes dave, this is a similar prob to what I've got at the mo, but my back rest wont go back. The way the wiring works is the reversing of the positive feed to your seat motors, thus forward or back, depending on switch position. I've not got around to sorting mine out, but have studied the diagramm, and think it can only be the switch unit.

 

Reasoning being is that it cant be the motor, cus it goes in the other direction, and it is the same motor for both ways. It cant be the wiring, cus it uses the same wires for both directions, just polarity swapping. So it can only be the switch.

 

Take the switch apart and give it a good clean. if that dont work, you may need a new one ( switch), try the trader section, AndyZ may be able to supply you with one.

 

Good luck

oppssssss, ermmmmm ofcourse you should also check mechanically like vijay said, as well :D

Dave, cheers for the info on the ball bearings. Finally got around to doing mine today, took the switch apart four times in the end, bloody bearings and pins :mad: Works a treat now, and about time too :D

PS - Found quite a few Japanese coins under the seat, 3 x 100's, 2 x 50's ( with holes in the middle), 1 x 10 and a plastic looking 1 :confused:
