Chrysler Repair: Power Seat does not work, chrysler dealer, labaron

Question
Hi Roland,  I have a 1995 Labaron convertible in great shape and with just 78,000 miles.  The drivers power seat would not work anymore so I took it to the Chrysler Dealer.  They said I needed a new motor for the power seat as this motor burned out and at a cost of over $500.  Needless to say I can live with out a power seat at that price.  I like woking on my car so I took the control panel apart in the door and I actually had the seat move a little in several positions.  So the motor was not bad.  I tried several times and I made some headway, but now I have it stuck in a position that I cannot bring it forward.  To me it seems to be in the brass looking grid that is in the door control.  Any help that you can provide would be greatly appreciated.  By the way I went back to the dealer and complained about the $90 fee they charged for telling me to purschse a new motor and they refunded my money.  Thanks, Dave

Answer
Hi David,
I haven't looked into the power seat of the J-body personally, but if by "brass looking grid" you mean the control switch, then I do have a couple of pages from the '94 manual that show how to test the switch function using a continuity or ohmmeter to test its contacts. If that is what you need, let me know a postal mailing address and I will xerox and postal mail you those pages. You may be able to fix the switch by spraying some electronic contact cleaner inside of it. Use the "thank and rate" tab to enter a postal mailing address in the comments area.
Good going on getting a refund from the dealer.
