The electric drivers seat adjuster on my 1997 Lincoln Continental will not adjust up - just makes a rasping sound and won't move the seat up, only down. Any suggestions?

try tapping the starter with a hammer and see if it will help if not you need new starter

YOU HAVE A SWITCH OR A TILT ACTUATOR MOTOR PROBLEM. LINCOLNS HAVE 5 OR 6 ELECTRIC MOTORS MOUNTED ON THE UNDERSIDE OF EACH FRONT SEAT WHICH REQUIRES REMOVING THE SEAT TO INSPECT .THEIR ARE ALSO CABLES ATTATCHED TO THESE MOTORS SO LISTEN WHEN YOU HIT THE TILT SWITCH DO YOU HEAR A MOTOR NOISE? IF YOU DO THEN YOU MAY HAVE A BAD CABLE.

Could be any number of items related to the seat
power motor circuit

Start by removing & testing the switches

If modules are involved,then it will be beyond
your ability to diagnose ,without a trouble chart

Check any fuses that apply

If a fuse is blown,replacing it won't
likely fix the issue,only blow again

it does not appear that the driver seat or adjustable pedal share anything in common

furthermore, the sound you hear clicking may be the actual seat motor trying to work, but lets do a quick test

try to move the seat up/down, forward/back and any combination. If while holding the button in said position and you consistently hear the clicking sound that follow the sound and touch the motor under your seat. If you feel the "clicking" then your seat motor is bound or siezed and will need repair.

if instead you just hear one click then you might be experiencing a relay problem

As for the pedal adjustment... have you checked fuse #109 (30A) @ the CJB (Central Junction Box) behind the right kick panel?

do u hear the motor for the seat humming when you press the button??.. If you don't the wire connector may be detached from the motor...it is located under the seat.... check to make sure it is fully connected ...if it is you'll need to check if it has power...worst case is that the motor is burnt... good luck

There is some adjustment for base idle but you should go to Autozone or Oreillys for a free motor scan. If all of your sensors are okay then here is how you adjust the idle.

Behind the air ductwork is a metal part that is horn-shaped. On one side there is a part called the TPS, throttle position sensor. It has 2 screws and 1 electric plug. It connects with the Butterfly flap in the Airhorn.
There is a small slot on oneside and a hole for the other screw in the other side on the TPS. If you loosen the 2 screws you will get a small amount of play and slow the engine down by moving the TPS.

If there is not enough drop in RPM there is a set screw in the Airhorn casting on the opposite side from the TPS. The screw has no head, but usually has a hex fitting inside the Tip. It is hard to turn,but mighty on adjustment. If this is not enough adjustment you have a Manifold leak somewhere on the intake. Good Luck

may need to be reprogramed or relearn theres a procedure I do not know it

Either the power-connection to the seats motor is disconnected or the motor is bad....

The are ride height adjusters the look like arms. they are mounted on the bottom of the struts and lower control arms that control the height The can be adjust but for the most part if the were working fine before then they need to be replaced. Make sure that there are no leaks in the system.
