I am the new owner of a 1988 Pearl White Allante. Its in great original shape, body/paint is near perfect as is the leather interior. However I have a couple bugs to work out.
I can't get the driver's seat to move forward (its all the way back). This was a problem before I bought the car as the lower seat cover panel that houses the seat switches was already removed.
I have the seat switches out to clean, but that's not the problem. I can jump the wires to move all the motors except the one that moves the seat forward. The motor for the forward-back motion appears to use the Lt Blue/Blk and Violet/Blk pair of wires. The wires have what looks like motor resistance between them. It sounds like it wants to run, but it just doesn't move. Can't tell yet if its jammed or a weak motor.
I would appreciate help on how to get to the motor to test or remove it. Note the seat is all the way back, so I can't see how to remove the seat itself. Instructions for that would also be appreciated.
It would also be helpful if there was a manual way to move that seat forward. Anyone know how?
Thanks, Bill
