1995 xjs drivers seat fore and aft

![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Using the door mounted switch for fore and aft, the drivers seat will move a little bit fore or aft and then stop. If I press the switch again, it moves a little bit more and stops. I have to do this 5 times for full seat travel.
After further evaluation, it stops at the same 5 spots every time I go fore or aft. Could it be a problem with the potentiometer? If so, how would i gain access to it to troubleshoot?

It's the plastic wobble connector inside the pot mechanism connection to the seat track. Turns out Ferraris have the same issue, and this Ebay seller makes 3d printed replacements.

Kind of a bear to change as the seat has to come out and the track has to be removed. You have to pull the panel under the rear of the drivers carpet to unhook the electrical plugs for the seat wiring harness.
After you replace the part, you need to ensure everything is hooked back up before trying it out. It will continue to do the short movements if the seat heaters, lumbar connections, and especially the ground wire at the stud aren't all connected.

Thank you. Sounds like a lot of work. Since the seat is still functional, I will probably defer the work for now.
