Passenger seat doesn't move up automatically!!!!!

My seat moves up automatically when it is tilted forward. The passenger seat does not. Is this right?

No it's not right. Both mine move forward when I tilt the seat-back forward, but the corresponding door has to be open first.

Thanks. That's what I thought. Guess I'm off to the dealer this week.

One further thought bro--- If the seat is adjusted all the way forward already then it can not travel any more when you tilt the seat back forward.
Try adjusting the seat further back b4 you tilt the seat back forward.
Might be as simple as that.

Re: Passenger seat doesn't move up automatically!!!!!

Eyieeeeee! You gotta be kidding! I have had my 6MT for two months now, wondering why the drivers seat only moved up with the tilt occasionally. This is the first I have heard of the parking brake requirement. My passenger side does not require it, but now I see the drivers seat does.

Thanks!!!

Re: Passenger seat doesn't move up automatically!!!!!

Damn. Now I realized that my interior light does not come on when the passenger door is open too. Also, the slight window roll up when I close the door only works on the driver's side windows. Shouldn't this work on both sides? It seems like everything works for the driver's side, but 3 things now don't work on the passenger side. Hopefully just a fuse or something simple like that, I only have 500 miles on the car.

Re: Passenger seat doesn't move up automatically!!!!!

sounds like a door switch problem

will affect the alarm also since the system will think the door is always shut

The dealer will take care of just get it in

Have a healthy day!

Re: Passenger seat doesn't move up automatically!!!!!

Fixed! Dealer took about 30 minutes to figure it out. Bad door switch (jammed). Got a new one and I'm back on the streets. It was fun driving the loaner around. I ragged it out and finally went up to 6,000 RPM's. I've been babying mine since I only have 500 miles. I CAN'T WAIT TO OPEN HER UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ragged out the loaner!!

They gave me a sedan automatic. It gave me a jolt, but I can't wait to open up my coupe.
