Switch Or Motor Fault ?

Post by Gary406 »

my leccy seats seems to have some sort of fault.

if you look at the piccy arrowed orange. this function does not work the seat up and down

BUT if you press that bit down the seat slides back ? but its not meant to slide the seat back . its only meant to move the back section of the arse bit up and down

the passanger seat only slides back if you push the switch to the left.

is it a switch fault or motor fault ?

ok just tested the seat again.

all the switch does arrowed orange is slides the seat back.

it does not move it up or down at all. just slides it back.

same as if you slide the switch to the left to slide the seat back ..

im thinking its defo a switch fault

It sounds like it could be a switch or motor fault there mate, If I remember when you push that switch either up or down at either end it should raise or drop the seat, basically like the extendable handle thats it that place on a manual seat

I had a base with all the motors tested and working and I gave it to the scrap man, otherwise you could have had it

Can you hear anything from the motors?

ye mate. motors seem fine. just weird that the up and down function (arrowed orange) slides the seat back

even if you push it up to raise the seat it still slides it back :lol:

Yep! 'course you can! Let me have a good look at the set up, because it's burried under sheet loads of interior bits that I have, and I need to know how big and heavy it is for shippin'. Mondays I'm usually snowed under with order shippments from over the weekend so please call me on Tuesday when I've finished my weekendly nervious breakdown and started breathing again :roll: . I dont get on here as often as I need to, or like but... I will be only to glad to help you out. My phone number is 07792 202 428.
