406 coupe Passenger Seat fault

Post by Mattmh »

Hi guys

I am having a problem with my passenger seat not reclining. It is an electric seat for starters. It moves back and forward but there is no movement on the tilt action. When I try to adjust the tilt of the seat the motor whirs away quite merrily, but there is zero movement in the seat itself. Does anyone have any ideas please?

Hi mate, under the seat are 4 motors ( 5 in a Coupe.. ) which control each part, the 5th on a Coupe is for the auto-glide when you want to access the rear seats.

Each motor has a sort of splined cable, a bit like a flexible drill bit, which links the motor to the movement - these have been known to pop out of place..... :roll:
