Title: Electric Seat Stuck.. Post by Tashy_Man on Sep 15th, 2006, 9:13pm Hi all, Hope someone can help.... Today (while waiting for my wife) i put the drivers seat to the fully reclined position. However when she returned the seat would not move to the original position (all others work ..tilt, back, forward) but you can hear the motors running. Checked on this main site and it says Seat module needs replacing. I rang Ford for quote and they said it was the "memory module" ...is this the same thing ? Don't want to order/find the wrong part. Also is it possible to manually return the seat to the upright position ? I drove 6 miles with it fully reclined today and can't do that too much ! Car is a 97(P), 2.9 Ultima Thanks for any advice given, Tashy Man |

Title: Re: Electric Seat Stuck.. Post by Tashy_Man on Sep 16th, 2006, 8:34am Hi Simmo, Yeah i saw that for getting the seat back in a driveable position and will be attempting it today......what i really need to know is what part to replace to enable it to work in the future (i.e Seat module, memory module etc) Thanks, |

If I read the thread correctly it seem that the seat went beyond a 'stop' ,and once that was overcome the thing worked as normal. No doubt you'll find out and let us know. Good luck. |
