Hi all,
My first post here after being a long time Boxster person. Must remember to change my ID logo.
Ok, for reasons I won't bother you all with I had my leather sports seats from my Boxster re-covered (expensively) in Alcantara. I love them and took them out of my Box when I sold it.
Before any smarty pants asks where the new driver sat - I put leather ones back in!
So, I have my lovely C4S 997 which has memory seats. Chucked the passenger one out and replaced with very much lighter Box seat. Amazing difference in weight those motors make.
Works fine, heated and electric seat back adjustment ok. Manual back/forward and up/down so no issues there.
Drivers side a different story. I replaced the seat expecting it to be a dawdle - only takes about 15-20 minutes - and now the seat switch on the Box seat doesn't work. Put the computer box in. Still nothing.
I put the old seat back in on the basis it was the computer saying NO. Still no joy. So I'm kind of stuck because I moved the seat position so I could get the thing out. It's slightly more difficult when there's a roof in the way!.
Interestingly the only way I can get the seats to move is using the memory keys so I can at least get some sort of driving position.
Any help out there?
Andrew
