My drivers seat will not move forward or backward and is now located in the full rear position. All the other seat functions are working up/down/tilt.
I removed the 2 front seat screws but cannot access the 2 rear screws because the seat being in the full rear position is covering the rear mounting screws. I have also removed the side panel holding the control switches. A fellow XF owner has provided me with another switch panel which I would like to install to see if the forward & reward seat switch will work and allow moving the seat forward.
Trying to disconnect and reconnecting the replacement switch panel is very difficult given the present conditions. My question is if I only connect the new F&R switch connector to the seat control and leave all the other switch connectors as connected to existing switches, will the F&R motor work? If this can be done I will be able to move the seat to allow accessing the rear mounting screws. I believe the F&R switch has a blue connector.
Also, is there another way to remove the seat?
Any help is appreciated.
