My electric adjustable driver's seat used to be fine.

 

Now it'll only go back and forwards a little bit.

 

It sounds like there's something in the way, blocking it but i can't see anything.

 

Any suggestions what might be wrong?

 

Thanks again guys*

 

:hyper:

 

* I assume most of us are guys. A woman in a Zed? Preposterous! Although the only reason I need my seat to go all the way forward is cos my girlfriend drives it and she's shorter than me.

Thats a good excuse then! Take the seat out to see if anything is under there. It's only 4 bolts and one connector i think.

Could be a coint hats jammin the tracks, as Ivan suggested, rip the seta out!

 

Good excuse to clean under there anyway!!! :)

Does all the other directions still work?

 

Mine had the recline up direction button start working intermittently and you would naturally try waggling the switch which put the backrest further and further back! Since I'm not into driving lying down it had to be fixed. The little joystick gizmo was the problem.

 

You need to be ready able and willing to take it apart because its balls fall out. You should probably disconnect the fuse for the seats too but I didnt and put up with some sparks while I used wet n dry abrasive paper to clean up the burned contact surfaces.

 

Putting it back together needs some vaseline to hold its balls in place while you get the parts together. Little springs as well. Fiddly job and needed splitting a couple of times before I got it right. Mine works fine now in all directions.

Yep same here, bloody pain in the arse, but well worth it, got fed up of getting closer and closer to the steering wheel ;) lol Just take your time.

it will be the flexi drive from the motor to the inside track that has snapped.

Nice one gents; loads of useful stuff there. I'll give it a proper look over tomorrow (well, that's today now)

Fixed it. The stereo fitted had dropped a screw into the track! Muppet.

Many thanks for the help and kind offers.
