POWER SEAT stopped reclining

My 95 SVX has a little glitch. Recently I noticed that the seat back recliner no longer works. The seat will move up/down and forward/back, but no recline?

I have the Factory Shop manuals, but can't find much there.

Is there a separate fuse or relay for the recline motor?

If it is a bad motor, how hard is it to replace?


Thank's for any help.

No, it's all one fuse. So it's either the recline switch or the recline motor.

I'm thinking that the recline motor is under the seat. Once you get the seat out, it's fairly accessible.

Where are you in NC PA? I may still have a set of seat motors in my other basement???

Try reclining it manually first. Sometimes when it's at it's extreme ends it won't work.
