MistaG Posted August 7, 2003 Posted August 7, 2003 I've owned my 1990 ls-400 for five years now and I just developed a problem with my power seat. When tilting the seat back I notice that only the side nearest to the door tilts while the side closest to the center console stays stationary. Now when I put the seat all the way forward the center console side of the seat it crooked. I sat in the back to see if I could figure it out and noticed that somewhere underneath the right hand side of the seat where the seat back and seat itself are connected, under the leather seems loose. I cant even figure out how to get a better look without taking the whole seat out. Please ..Somebody help me nurse my pearl back to Normal.... I am puzzled :chairshot:
VMF Posted August 7, 2003 Posted August 7, 2003 take the seat out. its only couple of screws. dont b scared
mr_goodwrench_06 Posted August 8, 2003 Posted August 8, 2003 I have the same problem with mine. There is a rod that runs horizontal from a moter to the adjusters. The rod, or the part that it fits into is stripped. I believe you can get these parts from the dealer. Bill
MistaG Posted August 12, 2003 Author Posted August 12, 2003 I heard of this rod on a do it yourself site I visited. I took the back off the seat and am lost afterwards. Can you give me a sort of description of where I can find this rod. When I wiggle the seatback down where the seatback connects to the seat under the leather, it is very loose. I want to take the seat apart and see where it is loose. Did that happen to you?
BG LEX Posted August 16, 2003 Posted August 16, 2003 yup i have the same problem with my seat, only 1 side goes down. did anyone go to the dealer and see it is/was to fix it? im not really a do-it-myself- on this lexus because its nothing like any other car, even installing an after market CD changer took 3.5 hours because of the fuel tank in the way
chromiez Posted August 16, 2003 Posted August 16, 2003 hasent happened to me, but my lumbar support is dead. anyone know how to fix that?
MistaG Posted September 11, 2003 Author Posted September 11, 2003 i FOUND THIS SITE THAT HAS A HOW TO ABOUT THE CAR SEAT PROBLEMS... Hopefully it helps out. I took the seat apart and couldnt figure it out though... Good luck to better do it yourselfers... let me know if it helps anyone out http://www.cureline.net/lex
1990LS400 Posted September 11, 2003 Posted September 11, 2003 After about 13 years of ownership, the exact same thing happened on the driver's seat of my LS400 a few months ago. My local independent Lexus repair shop fixed it for about US$190 including about $21 for a new "seat back transfer bar". I was told that it was a very common problem for the threads to get stripped.
