It should be worth a try-- certainly won't hurt to give it a shot. On the first seat which broke prior to my purchase I don't believe it was electrical at all... I saw the seat fall loudly (about 3 inches) with a rather large, heavy salesman in the driver's seat as he was showing me the car.

Does anyone know what mechanism tells the electric motor that the seat has reached the top (or bottom) of travel and cuts the power rather than allowing the motor to just choke down as it reaches the limits of travel??

It appears that the motor falsely thinks the limit of travel has been reached and cuts off because of my 170lb weight being added to the seat. Without my weight it continues on up to normal height. ?? Why, I don't weight enough to trigger an end of travel cut off.

Any one else have an idea?

thanks,
