temp fix will be to set your seat where you want it, and disconnect seat switch till you get a new relay box

Contact Gene at www.GMPartsHouse.com for best price on a new GM unit. Gene is a forum sponsor/vendor.

If you wish to buy used through a Corvette "recycler" or from an auction site, at least you will have a baseline price to guide your decision.

You may find that new is the better choice.

Ive seen them for 100-200 on ebay.... I also had to buy a switch and motors it gets real expensive!

Motors cost me 150, and the switch was like 130, and the relay box was like 150...

I also had the rocking seat fix to do... what a pain in the as*!
My car must of been built on a monday or friday, I litterally fixed most of the same problems that every vett owner on here has had problems with!

I still love the car though!
Now my blower motor is going now, lol.
