Driver power seat operating & disassembly procedures

[PaulRV6]

Are there instructions for troubleshooting my power seat? I think it is something in the motor or connection cables. Does anyone sell these parts or are they available aftermarket (last choice). Thanks for the help

What year is your car? The 1985 and older have one motor and a transmission which are all going to crack and fail.
The 1986-87 has the different motors.
There are mid year changes as usual.
I'm not saying its the drive unit, just letting you know to look and see what you have.

Oh ok. It's an 86 and has one motor, if I remember. I should take a photo since I have the seat out so I will post that tomorrow.

That plastic transmission housing if original will soon crumble.

Someone might have a trouble shooting procedure.

Here is a photo of my power seat. Can you tell me which one I have?

I think that's and older unit, one motor and a transmission. Its like the one that i rebuilt, put on a new case.
Yours looks in much better shape than this one was.
