When I did the seats last year on the
87 Cab, I noticed that switch on the right seat would only work, so the rear side of the seat would only go down, but not up. At that point I didn't want to mess with it, because it was no big deal.
So a few months ago, on the driver seat the back would only go back, but not up again. Now that's an issue, because the other half cannot drive with the back in a position I have. So here we go, I ordered 2 new switched for the rear up/down and the back adjustment.
This may help other who have the same issue and need to replace the switch. OK, this is applicable for the 87 Carrera, and may be a bit different on other models.
OK, here we go:
First slide the seat all the way to the front and loose the rear socket head bolts. Then the other way around. This car has these steel block from the bottom side in the rails, and if you not grab them with the finger, they will fall down, and need to be fished out.
After all 4 corners removed, flip up the seat to get access to the electrical connectors.
Disconnect the power for the seat and the cable for the seat belt, and remove the seat.
Now it's good time to collect all fastener and if needed get the vacuum and clean up what you normal not see, and collect all the change.
With the seat on a table. Remove the screws from the switch.
Remove the connector from the holder
And unplug
In this case unplug the cable from the motor that move the rear side of the seat up and down. It's always a good idea to take some pictures for later when things need to be reconnected.
