YOUR RESEARCHCan one of you electrical gurus please take a crack at this electric seat problem?

Reported or suspected cause

spade pins, not the small pins

Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that suspect a cause: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suspected cause
Anyway, it will be two of the large pins, probably the spade pins, not the small pins which would be used for sensors and controls.

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.

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

Planet-9: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1Original post

Below is a photo of the 987.1 Boxster that I just bought. The power seat is not moving, and it's stuck in the rearmost position. I need to move it forward to get to the rear bolts to get to what is called the rear body control module that is under the seat. The module got wet, and I think it's why the seat won't move to begin with. All I can think of is to bypass the module and power the seat directly with 12v DC, and then try to move it. Does anyone have any idea which of these terminals would need to be powered - + and -, to get the seat switch to work and move the seat forward? Barring that, maybe someone has an idea how to get to the rear bolts on the seat? Posted below is a photo of the plug receptacle under the seat. Thanks!

POST 2Original post

I would think you can look at the wires going to the motor that drives the seat for and aft. Follow those to the plug and identify the pins involved. Now, that assumes you can even see the wires under the seat, which may be near impossible. Anyway, it will be two of the large pins, probably the spade pins, not the small pins which would be used for sensors and controls. Good luck!

Check wiring diagram of 987.1. If you're trying to store a flood-damaged 987, you'll need it 987.1 Wiring Diagram.

Sounds like a lot of this going around. Check out this post from a couple of days ago: https://www.planet-9.com/987-cayman...r-service-and-tech/236067-removing-electric-seat-stuck-you-cant-get-mounts.html

POST 5Original post

No, just multiple posts from same guy. I guess this is the original and then he answered his own question by starting a new thread.. Seems like he's managed to waste time for both of us researching.

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