Can a manual seat replace the power seat - camry, 1999 front driver seat

Power seat won't move back and forward, the forward movement only working on one side the right side won't work. checked the motor even exchanged the motor with the up-down position same result, (the up-down switch-button now controls the back-forward motion), the right side stuck will not move. Not fond of the power-seat. So, are the mounting bolt(4) positions the same for power-seat and the manual-seat

    The power-seat was a multi-wired plug. try plug the loose wires(2, rred and white) into the plug(3-holes), all combinations won't turn the seat-belt light off (in console area)

    The seat belt light sould not be associated with the power seat electrical harness. They are almost always on their own circuit that has two wires and connects directly to the seat belt buckle. If the indicator is bundled in with the power seat connector you will need to either look up an electrical diagram to find the wires for the seat belt indicator circuit or use a volt meter or power probe to locate the wires. You might want to pull the fuse for the power seat to make it easier to locate the seat belt indicator circuit.

Passenger seat in 1999 Pontiac sunfire is jammed forward

normally the seat tracks are bolted to the floor or riser. It is possible that when the seat was moved forward the track moved over the head of a mounting bolt and will not return. check for interference between track and rail while trying to return seat.

Automatic driver seat broken, how to fix/cost

The back and foward movement uses the same motor. So if it moves one way but not the other it's most likely the switch. Try to blow it out or clean it out. If pop or somthing spilled on it you will prob. need to pull switch out and take it apart to clean contacks inside.

I have a 1993 Mercury Topaz that I just bought, and the drivers side seat will not move forward, it will go in all other directions, but won't move forward...any suggestions?

There are 3 electric motors on the seat. One is forward and back, one is front up and down, and one is rear up and down. The switch changes the polarity back and forth to achieve the proper movement. I think the wire color for the forward and back motor is yellow with a white tracer and red with a white tracer. so if the switch gives the motor positive voltage to the yellow with a white tracer and grounds the red with a white tracer the seat moves forward. If the switch gives the red with a white tracer positive and the yellow with a white tracer ground the seat moves back. (or the other way around). So we can safely say it is in the switch.
Good luck and God Bless

2001 toyota camry, the driver side power seat is in the back position and will not move forward, the motor seems to work but only one side is moving.

Need to remove seat and check the drive cable from the motor to the affected side. May need to be reconnected or replaced. Make sure you disconnect battery as seats have side air bags in them.

2002 camry Driver's side power seat all the way forward and won't move backwards. Other power seat functions working fine. Tried moving it with engine off and engine on. Is there a manual release?

I found this post area while looking for a way to fix my stuck 2001 Camry LE drivers seat. Sure enough, while engaging the seat motor (it could be heard making an initial clikc), I hit the front rails a coupel time prettysolidly with a rubber mallet. That fixed it!

Thanks to all for providing a quick fand easy way to get the seat moving again!

Power seat won't move backwards

I had the same problem some one on one of the web-sites solved his problem by banging on the track rail in the front while pushing the seat button back after a good few bangs it unjamed and works great now .I feel like I saved at least $1500 by dealer rates.

Drivers electic seat will not adjust

I just had the same problem. When the seat is powered all the forward, one of the worm drives reached the end of its travel and jammed against the threaded block that it passes through. To fix this the seat has to be unbolted and tipped back. There are four tiny 6mm bolts that hold the motor plate in. Remove these and the motor will come out. The worm drive is bolted in at one end and has a set pin at the other. Remove the worm drive and use a couple of vice grips or equivalent to loosen the threaded block from the worm drive.
