Default Manual seat adjustment

My 2008 is a flood car and of course the seats do not work properly. Has anyone found a way to adjust the seat manually? I need to adjust the seat back a little bit to be comfortable. The seats do not work because some of the position sensors are bad.

Thanks.

Hi I read though the posts in the link you sent but didn't find anything relevant - it was mostly instructions for how to use the forum. Was there a different thread you meant to share?

Thanks.

I believe that was a gentle reminder to 1) add your information in your profile and signature, and possibly 2) to look for a thread (using google) before posting a question.

Not really GENTLE though.
Anyway, I seem to recall you can just add voltage to the seat motors using the connector. I've no idea which pins are necessary though.

Use the wire colors to identify the connector pins as Cee Jay said:

See attached extract from workshop manual, available in the stickies at top of forum. This fly lead allows you to adjust seats fore and aft, assuming motor & seat track are not too badly damaged.

Thanks for the information - it is really helpful. If I figure this out I'll post about it.
