I doubt there is any way to repair this switch, I will have to "spring" for a replacement I think.

My motto is "It's already broken, so whats the harm in trying to fix it." If it can't be fixed then I'm only out my time.

Thanks for the compliment Larry. It is definitely a work in progress. What color is the one in your avatar?

Mike, I thought the same thing. My seat was to far forward. 5.0 girl friend. I knew I could manually jump it or turn the shaft so I exploded it so to speak.
First, Jumped the wires moved the seat back to my settings then pulled the switch. Oh, you can't drive it till I fix the switch.

The color is Crystal emerald metallic.

I was going to say $1.50 is way below average.

I want to fix my power seat on the passenger side and will be taking it out. Question is how will I get it out if it is not going forward or back to get bolt access? Kind of a catch 22. If I could move it forward or back I probably would'nt need to take it out in the first place. LOL

If you mean the tracks are blocked by debris (loose change/etc), I'm not sure.

If you just mean the switches or motors are non-functional, there is an allen head bolt beneath the front of the seat which can be used to move the seat manually forward & backward. It should be accessible through a hole in the black plastic mechanism cover.

Finally got around to removing my passenger seat and working on the switch. I was able to get it to move forward and back now but the front raise and lower on the forward switch still does not work. I will look for a new switch someday but the important part is working again.

I had seat switches that wouldn't work.

I searched around a bit and found this:

https://rennlist.com/forums/964-foru...lace-them.html

Nice, detailed, pic filled thread on rehabbing the switches.

I didn't have any real problems disassembling, cleaning, and reassembling them. Pay attention to what direction things go, they only go one way. There are guide tabs and slots to keep things the correct way.

And I found that the recline in the passenger seat not working wasn't because of the switch, it was because the wire cores had broken inside the insulation on the wires. The zip tie holding the wires in place was way too tight and had caused the break.

And I found about $5 in change, a 10mm socket on a U-joint, a couple dead pens, some other trash and two Triborough Bridge Authority Bridge/Tunnel tokens.

I never find anything but butts in my seats!

There are 3 switches, I need the front one, it was damaged
apparently they have different plugs.
I assume the front one for vertical and horizontal movement
928-613-182-00 {it could also be 809-43022-001 or W0133-1605659 depending on the source}
It has a two simple push-in plugs (male) and four push-on plugs (female)

and the rear one for seat back
928-613-183-00
has the same two push-in plugs, two push-on, and a double push-on plug

Not so sure abut the middle 4 way switch?
