Hi, obviously I'm new here, but Subaru is not new to my family. We've had the 04 outback and now a 2012 impreza, love 'um, but Outback's driver's seat won't move forward/back.
I have done a variety of searches on this site. Please forgive me, and help by pointing me in the right direction, if this has been covered. This is the closest I could find...... http://www.subaruoutback.org/forums...4892-broken-power-seat-motor-anyway-move.html
The tilt (front and back work, two motors) The fore/aft doesn't work. For those of you who know, I took the switch off, took apart the two halves, exposed the inner 3 ball bearing switches, took apart the fore/aft 4-spring, 2-ball bearing, 2 copper rocker arm contacts. Seems fine...what a [email protected]@@, err, bear to get back together.
So my dumb guess is that switch is OK, how do I test motor? I have multimeter. Can I pierce into wires leading to motor to see if it's getting signal? What should meter say, how do I prove motor is bad (or connection). Or something else.
Thanks folks, and sorry if this has been covered; I will humbly read whatever old thing you refer me to.
Thanks, Erik.
