Hi all,

 

Just picked up a rust free 2000 from Florida. It's a 2500 Laramie SLT. Any good links on power seats? I got the forward-back working but could use the rest of the switches. I have power to the motors but appear to be jammed. This is my 1st power seat vehicle, so I'm ready to learn!

 

Thanks,

Dave

Look closely at the seat and the screw part. Carefully loosen the screw shaft so it can spin. You might want to help it out with a little lube too. Very common for seat motors to burn up. Matter of fact I've got a old seat frame I save from the dump for repairing the 1996 Dodge power seats some day. I've also got forward and back slide but the tilt is working on one side. I guess I know what my future project is going to be...

Hi Michael, so where the screw shaft goes into the gear housing, those screws, two of them.

 

So quite a few gen 2's are getting parted out around here, whats the chance of finding a good used unit?

 

Thanks,

Dave

All I can say is pull them off and bench test them on a battery see if they spin before you leave the yard. But the electric motors or the switch will fail on those typically.

So for right now I have the seat in a position that's going to work for the moment. I'm going to try & switch seat bottoms just so they should wear better!
