Default 1997 xj6 vanden plas SEAT


Missing the upper right knob.
The vehicle is new to me. Can anyone give me the part number for the missing knob on my controller and direct me to where I can purchase the knob? What seat function does this missing knob control?

Thanks all,

Ted

The seats comes in 2 different seat versions that might predicate the switch version

Memory and non - memory which the VDP has the higher option

In sourcing the switch ask if the driver door master controller has the 1 , 2 , 3 buttons to be a better bet on getting the correct seat switch

Default Programming the memory for the drivers seat

So I have a VDP with 3 seat buttons on the drivers panel.
How do I program these buttons? Currently, my seat is all the way forward. The seat motors are new and so is the black memory controller under the seat.
Help !??!

Thanks all.

I think the seats are covered in this

You have a large knob on the steering column to turn to off to not have the seats and column auto retract on exiting the vehical

Your question on manualy moving the seats..................

The high end seats have the controller under the seats and you may have to swap the button set attached to the passenger seat then have the auto switch to off
