Default Help Please

I have a 94 targa top, FYI I did finally figure out how to get the top of by myself......lol
My driver power seat, all directions work except reverse.......Do I need an entire new switch?
I have no back up lights, I've been told there is something underneath that has to be replaced?
Then I need a new drivers door interior panel, mine is grey and black.
Where and what all do I need and where can I get without costing alot?

Thanks bluebaby94
PS I live in the West Houston area.....:-)

Driver seat, get a factory manual and trouble shoot the switch. It's probably either the switch or the power tracks are bad.

Back up lights - If you have a 6 speed it is probably the switch at the trans. It's on the driver's side and requires an offset 7/8" wrench. Dealer part.

Door panel - Mid America?

West Houston?!!! A few years ago I flew in to Houston to pick up an 87 vert that I bought from a Forum member. I stayed at a motel in SouthWest Houston. I got there in the afternoon and called up the owner and asked him to bring me the car. He knew I would be staying overnight and advised that I wait until morning to have it delivered. He stated that if I left it in the motel parking lot overnight in that part of town that it would not be there in the morning!!!
Can't help with your problem but I just thought that was an interesting experience. I won't even go into how the Liberian taxi driver screwed me by charging me $96 to get from the airport to the motel.
