Power Driver’s Seat Quit. C70

posted by  someone claiming to be Butchman on  Thu Aug 8 22:52 CST 2019 [RELATED]

My 1998 C70 driver’s power seat just stopped working. I can tilt it forward with the side lever but that’s about it. The red rear floor strap doesn’t do a thing. Passenger seat works fine.
Checked fuses, all good. Good thing it quit in my normal driving position.
Any ideas? Thanks.

You will need to take the seat out. I suspect that the 'red' strap mechanism is at fault.

Thanks Klaus C. After further investigation,I found a small detached spring hanging on the back rear corner (drivers door side). Since it is so low, I can’t see where the loose end was attached too even with a mirror.
I can pull on it to no effect. I guess I’ll be pulling the seat out when I have the time next week.
