Adjusting seat position manually

[martz0r]

I just looked through 8 pages of search results, the tech page, and Google, but have not been able to find my answer. Seat motor is broken and all I want to do is adjust the seat to go farther back because the person who previously had it was 5'8" and I'm 6'2" lol... Possible? Easy? I find it hard to believe this hasn't been covered before...

Thanks!

I ended up taking the seat out completely, figured out how to manually adjusted it. Time to see if I can get those 2 rear bolts on now...

Replace the track, or tear your motors apart and clean them, and rebuild it.











Or brute force

Billcu has a excellent post on another Lincoln site. Step by step on how to clean the seat motors.
Not sure if it's .org or LOD.

Thanks, but I should have told you the previous owners removed the motor completely so it's not even there... Didn't realize it til I pulled the seat though. Glad I didn't bother to clean the switches (although probably would help anyways).
