Re: IML: stuck-up seat in a '71

[David Whitney <david.whitney@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, Jim --

If you can put your hands on the FSM, it will tell you which combination of
wires in the relay to energize in order to get the direction of movement
you want.  I had to do the same on my '66, and I simply ran wires from a
battery after determining from the wiring diagram that it takes straight
12v input.  Happily, your seat is stuck in the highest position.

If it's like mine, one motor controls everything and you should be able to
get to the relay no problem.

When I did this, it was the first time that seat had moved in 25 years.  I
felt like Dr. Frankenstein -- "It's alive!  It's alive!"

I'm looking for a quick, non-invasive fix to a driver's power seat stuck in
the highest position in my new old '71. The seat runs back and forth fine
but the tilting and lifting action isn't.
Any way it can be lowered manually?
Many thanks.
