If they are corroded bad you did clean off what you sanded b4 you moved it right?

ya.

I'm letting it cool, then I'm going to take a wire brush to them again and do a second cleaning, then move them all the way up and back down to try and work out any other crap.

Question: would it be better to pull the metal boxes that slide up and down the gears off instead of just manually moving them up and down for cleaning?

if so, how hard is it to take them off? I looked it over but it looks like I'd have to take the entire assembly out to do so, is that correct?

while thats cooling, onto checking out the wiring of the driver seat.

Ohh, one last thing:

I never used the memory seat functions, where is this light located? I see the memory buttons on my driver door panel, but I don't think theres any light to blink there...

well, my tinkering with the seats is done for the very moment.

without explaining the stupidity that occurred, i think i've destroyed the front/back motor for the passenger seat by pulling the motor apart by mistake ~.~. Anyone have any experience re-assmebling that? I could use some advice, cheapest replacement motor I could find was 50 bucks and they said theyre not sure if they have it


however, i did manage to make the driver side door work, checking the fusebox I discovered the fuse simply burned out. I had to sacrifice the use of my (partially working) sunroof, but now the driver seat is fully functional, so at least I've made some progress.

Maybe this should be in a new thread, but I didn't want to spam the forums:

Now I'm moving onto a cosmetic step, I'm ripping the carpet out of the car for a very needed cleaning. I'm tired of it being such an embarrassing ride. (heres some "before" shots)

I've pulled out the trunk interior and am working on the cabs carpet lineing now, question: how do i remove the foot wrest piece in the last pic? I pulled the bolt out at the top of it but it doesn't want to give...

*edit*
and the carpet is out. For future reference to anyone that stumbles into this thread in the future, the foot wrest on the upper left corner of the drivers side has two 10mm bolts, one is at the top and easy to access, the other is hidden. the actual pad can be popped out with a screwdriver and reveals the second bolt. Once you take that off it slides right out, and the carpet comes with it. This isn't in the manual in the sticky (at least not from what I saw)

Anyway, I'm out of daylight, so tomorrow will continue on with cleaning the carpets, cab, and reinstalling the carpet (unless I decide to rip out the back seats for cleaning)

I have to say thank you L3GDKANG/JDMKANG for your help and being so kind, good to know I can go someplace that'll have my back if I get into a tight spot.


Money is tight and I'm saving up for some bigger jobs that need to be done on this car, so I'm trying to avoid spending over 20 on the motor. In the mean time, I'll be either trying to repair the damage I did to the passenger motor, and/or when I set the passenger seat back in place I'll just set it as far back as possible, I don't drive with passengers that often, and in the event that i do that should work just fine. The other functions still work so that'll be a decent temp job.

I'm also not wanting to put too much money into the seats because the upholstery on them is nearly destroyed, and I'm currently reading up on leather repair to see if it's worth attempting to fix them, or if I should just replace them all together (they're HORRIBLY damaged)

Anyway, I'm really curious if anyone has any tips for disassembling/reassembling the motor. When I put it back together I can get it to move for a split second when I hit the switch, but then it stops, I think i need to line up the metal...blocks...connected to copper wire properly, and theres 2 springs inside that got bent, so bending them back should keep them in place (they wind up all over the place after hitting the switch)

I'm going to let the motor sit for a week or so to let any charges die so I don't fry myself, but in the mean time if anyone has any tips or wants pics of what it's current status is to help, just ask.

Here's the last of today's pictures:

nothing major to update yet. Took the carpets to the car wash and used about 10 bucks, didn't think it'd take so long or I woulda brought more cash, I ran out of quarters and had to bring it home. I didn't even manage to fully clean the carpet, much less any of the other parts.

After that I spent the last 3 hours of sunlight with the hose, brush, and carpet steamer in the backyard. The water isn't coming out oil-black anymore, now it's hersheys chocolate brown.

This is carzy. My first working year was spent at a car wash, and I've -never- seen a carpet THIS bad

At this rate it's going to take a month of daily carpet cleaning just to get the cabs carpet clean. Tips?
