This is not a probability of success.

At some point when I have time I will dismantle and clean/replace the switch, but in the meantime is there a way of manually adjusting the seat so I can 'fix' it in a more comfortable position?

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

1 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The passenger seat of our 2003 996 C2 has electric tilt seats (all other movements are manual, thankfully!) and the tilt is only working in one direction - the seat-back is now in a very uncomfortable upright position. A read around the internet suggests the switch is probably to blame seeing as it's working in one direction and not the other. At some point when I have time I will dismantle and clean/replace the switch, but in the meantime is there a way of manually adjusting the seat so I can 'fix' it in a more comfortable position? I've seen various references to this on a variety of Porsche seats but nothing specific to the 996.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
