If you are talking about making some sort of extension to be able to plug one end to the harness in the car and the other end to the seat brain box with the seat out of the car, that might work. Would have to find some sort of connector though that will be able to plug into the car end

Well you are going to have to remove the seat completely. First move seat all the way back and remove front 2 bolts, then move all the way forward for the back 2. Then you can get to the motors etc and see if one of the wires is damaged or something. Harry Watkins wrote: I have the

I usually just get it sort of stuck in the car door a little just so the cord will reach to move it back and forth. OR, you can just stick the proper drill bit in the special port on the motor just for the purpose of manually moving it back at forth. As for the pins, the older style with no

The extension wire will run from the harness where the seat would have plugged in to the harness, with the other end plugging into the seat connector. You should be able to just use the postion switches to move it as needed, and not invoke the memory function. The reason to make different
