My passenger seat was set all the way back for vacuuming and now won't come forward anymore (seat back still moves, though). Before I take it in, is there an easy fix?

 

Have you tried it with the car running?or just when the motor is turned off?

Graze

 

with the car running

 

I believe there are sensors on the seat rails which are for crash detection ??
If you drive the seat too far back you lift the seat rails enough to stop it working .
I would undo the four bolts holding the seat down .maybe a ***** with the seat driven back ?? Once the seat pressure is released from the back panel it may start to work again and you can bolt the seat back down once you move it forward .
Have you tried tilting the seat back way up straight first then try forward ?

 

Take a look through this thread including post 49, it might be what Vantagelvr is describing

finally got around to trying this yesterday. pushed seat lower all the way forward for 4 seconds, then seat back forward all the way for 4 seconds, then seat lower back once then forward and it released. so glad i don't have to bring it in. thanks!

don't know if it's related, but also noticed the start-up screen says "Rapide" instead of "Vantage S" now. didn't know i had a V12 and two extra doors hidden somewhere lol

 

This is an old thread, but for others future reference, I just tried the exact same procedure with my '15 V12 Vantage and it worked like a charm.

 

i've found, over the years, that the passenger seat (at least) doesn't like it when it's set back as far as the mechanism will allow. nor does the air bag and its annoying sidekick: the dash warning light.

 

I've got an issue where the passenger seat moves ok, but the two lumbar switches don't seem to be working. Any ideas on that one?

 

That's a classic I've had the passenger airbag light come on when the seat was pushed all the way back, but at least the car was the same car afterwards.
