Default Power seat stuck!!

I am trying to get a little more leg room as a 6'6'' tall guy doesnt really have a whole lot to begin with. I currently have a power seat on the drivers side that wont budge and i would like to get some more driving room until the new track arrives. anyone have any ideas on how to move the seat back without power to the seats??

wow... does it make a grinding sound when you try to move them? if so, your outta luck.

otherwise, make sure your harnesses are connected. then all should be ok.

if that don't work, you have to chase the wiring and find out why - check fuses!! does the passenger seat work?

if you really want more leg room, use manual rails.

If the passengers is also a power seat, why not just swap the Drivers seat tracks with the passengers? They're the same. Order a replacement one when you have the money....

That's what I did. Had the same problem with my '89 except I'm short (5'3") and needed the seat to move forward, not back.

Swapped tracks...was a pain in the **** but it's done and problem solved

On a 93, to swap the seat tracks, it takes about 20 minutes... Extremly simple. His being a 87 is something that I don't know.

I know it is easier on the later C4s...I have a 94 in addition to my 89. Trust me, it's harder on the earlier C4s
