Maintenance/Repairs

Siege passager avance mais ne recule pas

Passenger seat moves forward but does not move backwards…

I am not familiar with your vehicle but,
I would first look under the seat and check for an obstruction.
If that isn’t your issue, I would have the switch checked. If not the switch, then look close at the wires to see if one is broken.
do you hear any sound when going backwards? like a grinding? if so, a plastic gear to move the seat backwards may be stripped.

En français, @weekend-warrior répondu;

Je ne connais pas votre véhicule, mais, Je regardais d’abord sous le siège et vérifiais s’il n’y avait pas d’obstruction. Si ce n’est pas votre problème, je ferais vérifier le commutateur. Si ce n’est pas l’interrupteur, regardez attentivement les fils pour voir si l’un d’eux est cassé. Entendez-vous un son lorsque vous reculez? comme un broyage? Si c’est le cas, un engrenage en plastique pour déplacer le siège vers l’arrière peut être dénudé.

No experience w/your car, but I had this same problem w/my truck’s seat recently. I could move it forward, but not backward. Stuck. Manual seat movement mechanism on truck, no electric motors. I was able to fix it quite easily, by spraying a small dose of silicone lubricant (from a spray can) on the seat’s tracks. Done in stages. At first you get it to move just a little, which gives you access to more of the track spray. Move it again, repeat spray, etc.

Must be one of our Canadian friends. I can speak a couple lines thanks to my French baby sitter but I can’t spell it.

I could speak basic tourist French pretty well in elementary school, but not in written form. Now the only French I know is what I learn by watching Poirot episodes on PBS. mais oui, c’est ne pas? … lol …
