Unread post by Fanntern » Sat Dec 08, 2012 10:22 pm

My girl has a 1999 Toyota Camry Solara and the drivers power seat motor is messed up.
I am seriously in the Dog house and need some quick advice.

I cant afford to replace it and she had it set where she could reach the pedals cause she's only about 5'2'' but i made the mistake of moving seat back and cant get it foward again...can i switch Passenger seat with the drivers seat to get me outta the dog house?

You probably cannot switch the seat motors as they are different from left to right. Things would be reversed on the passenger seat and would not mount up properly on the driver's seat.

Without replacing the motor, I can't really help you much here. You might want to try getting under there and giving the motor some taps with a small hammer or handle of a screwdriver. Sometimes you can get the motor to engage that way.
