Autogliding Seats

[GMAN]

The seats in my 93 aren't gliding. The move about an inch, and stop. Its a good thing the drivers side is all the way to the back. The drivers don't even move forward when I move the back forward. The passenger side, however glides when I move the back, and it moves back. Slowly though. It wont move when using the controls. Is this fixable?

Try this ... try losening one or two of the 4 bolts that hold it to the floor.

On my 94 if the bolts are too tight the glide stops or slows.

Thanks Rich, I'll try that.

BILLCU on LOD did a great write-up on how to clean the motors that control the movement of the seats. It *may* help solve your problem.

I know the feeling. My '96 has been doing the same thing intermittently. And the '97 LSC just started acting up a couple of days ago.

Is there any way to add autoglide to the 93s that don't have autoglide? My 93 doesn't have autoglide.

My passenger seat was doing the exact same thing, one of the plugs on the module under the seat came loose, did you check that?

 

[thaywood]

Ah! That's a thought. Sometimes, though, I can grab the steering wheel and give it a little tug while I'm sitting in the seat and it will start moving again. I think it's just worn out. The '96 is 14 years old with almost 300K miles on it after all.

On my 96 some lubrication of the tracks freed it up.

If the seat moves forward and back only when the seatback is moved, it might be the memory module or switch.

I've recently seen a gen 2 with a bad module. I thought it might be the switch, but the module had a corroded circuit board.

I think the slow motor is a separate problem, which might be fixed using that link to my post about cleaning and rebuilding the motors.

i don't think he is worried about it anymore

His 93 is not the one that burned

 

[danny_holtermann]

oh didn't read thoroughly, forgot he has multiple marks... Damn that would be nice, not the burn part

Pretty sure they all have autoglide. My window sticker showed them as standard equipment. The only options that mine came with are chrome wheels and traction control.

early 93's did not have autoglide

Yes, it's a good thing when you can open the garage and see two more Marks in the Driveway.
