I have 8 way power seats in my car and only my seat will recline back and forth. It wont do anything else. My fuses are ok. Can I adjust manally? Is there a easy fix?

sounds like the switches are either sticking or shot. You can remove them and carefully take them apart to clean out some of the contacts. If that fails, check eBay for new old stock - don't bother with used ones though.

Mine were full of accumulated dust and hardened grease. Once cleaned up, they worked just fine. A quick 30 minute job. Just don't lose any of the little pieces!

Let me know if you need a part. Just took the power driver seat from my 1987 944S (original stock seat by Recaro). May be the same seat you have. All worked fine when I took it out.
