Does anyone have a pin layout and rating, or something to point me to an equivalent part please?
With the drivers seat fixed at full extent, as it is now, I can't expect the wife to not be able to see over the dashboard at full throttle! That would be dangerous and I love her too much!

That tutorial I mentioned, is in the document collection. Free downloads all over in there, including the service manual. The diode that goes bad is INSIDE the relay (I believe) and fixing it (if it is the problem) is simple to unsolder/resolder a replacement universal diode (part number in the tutorial). If your good to moderate with a soldering iron should be very easy. The relay itself is located on the inside firewall (if I remember correctly) and towards the center of the car. You can do it, many have. Good luck!
