Remove the 4 nuts or bolts holding it
to the floor pan & take it out
If you have srs system (air bags) you will
have to learn the procedure for dis-arming them,
as you have wire connectors to unfasten & can not
have power on when you do so
You remove the seat covering & TIG Weld or Silver
Braze the broken parts,no need to replace your seats
some have a limiter on them some go to a full recline for sleeping..the best way to know is look at the mechanism for fresh broken steel or plastic..at the worst .. replace the seat..
Wiring harness under seat may be unplugged. Plug in and try. Seat switch may be broken, replace as needed. Fuses may be blown, replace as needed. Motor may not work, check and replace as needed.
There's a bolt in each corner of the seat frame that goes thru the frame and into the floorboard. Remove these bolts, disconnect any wires, and pull the seat out. Same with the passenger seat if you want to put it on the driver side temporarily. The seat movement control will be on the inside though when you do this. Not a good idea, bit it can be done. Same seats, different actuator lever position.
You will have to unbolt the seat from the undercarraige of the truck. If you look under the vehicle in the proximity of the seat you will see the nuts to remove.
If you have power seats just look underneath the seat and you can unplug the electrical connectors that go to any of the seat accessories. Then you can remove the seat. Sounds like the left side of the seat frame has broken that supports the seat back.
