Default Electric seat wowes

1999 Camaro z28, Euro spec

Having some issues with the drivers electric seat. It has stopped moving in some directions. Is this a common issue/easy fix? Where should I start to look for issues.

No local spares here, so I need to buy and import anything I'm likely to need.

I believe the Euro spec cars have different seats to the N American Camaro's, might be Firebird seats.

These are the directions it is/isn't working in:

If you are getting responses from the switch, and the seat doesn't move, I would guess it's the adjuster.

I would start by taking the seat out of the car and testing the motors in the adjusting track. You should be able to do this with a simple 12V power source. If the motors or parts on the adjuster are bad, you can get another one used. Classic Industries also lists one, but have it as currently out of stock: https://www.classicindustries.com/pr...rts/g4717.html
