I bought the entire assemble/panel (post #11) and replaced the whole thing.

Did you ever find a way to replace the **** without buying the whole darn switch?

It's either pop the $500 to 700 to replace the whole mechanism, or just live with it.

How do you run the cables for a complete new panel?
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.

Hey all,
I have been trying for over a month to find the part below, the front power seat switch **** that has broken off. I've tried ordering it through my local Porsche parts guy, but twice now they have sent the rear switch ****, not the front one that I need. Apparently, the number listed in the parts manual is only for the rear ****, not the front one. So, I have no way of ordering it.
Any of you guys know where I can get a new **** for this switch? 2003 C2.
Thank you in advance.
Thanks, DBjoe, I'll run that part number by my supplier. But, I think that's the same part number he has been using, but they keep sending the rear ****, not the front one. I think the part number is wrong.
At 72 years of age, that's what I need... A new **** at the front. My **** has been broke about 2 years now. I have tried DIY on it but still it doesn't work like it used to do hahaha
Cuda,
There was a similar post today of someone with the same problem you and I have.
Did you ever find a way to replace the **** without buying the whole darn switch?
Thanks.
I emailed them. From their response, I don't think they have it for a 996.

Hello,
I have a 2002 Porsche 996 Targa,
I am missing the **** for the passenger electric seat control � the **** that makes it go up or down and back and forth.
I saw in your catalog that it MIGHT be this part (but listed for an 05 997?).
This is item #19 on this page:

Item #19 997.521.633.02 V05 $20.47
I377/378/437 Control ****
Do you know if it will fit my 02 996 passenger side switch?
Thanks.
I've checked everywhere and called every dismantler for two years. So far, no go. It's either pop the $500 to 700 to replace the whole mechanism, or just live with it.
Wow, they must love seeing your phone number pop up on caller ID every week: "Aw, jeez, it's that Cuda guy again calling from San Diego - guess what he wants."
FOUND ONE! Got one!!
Well, it still has to come in the mail, and I still have to verify that it fits, but...
I decided to personally follow up Wicked's advice about DCAutomotive beyond their email back to me.
I called Rex at DCA [[phone removed]], and he said no probs -- they just take a **** off one of their switches.
$28 shipped.
I told him that there were several Rennlisters who had voiced the same problem, and he said no probs.
So, give DCA/Rex a call (no affiliation).
Nooooooooooooo!!!!!!!
Got the switch from DC Auto, and I think it is the wrong one!! (See pic).
Unfortunately, my car is in VA, and we are in the process of moving to KY, so could not try it.
However, it does not look like the forward-back, up-down switch.
Instead, it looks like the back tilt.
Anyone confirm this before I call DCA?
Thanks.
Yep, wrong part. The listed part number for the one we all need is incorrect. I've tried ordering it several times, but they all supply the wrong one.
So, the hunt is still on.
How do you run the cables for a complete new panel? I have a seat with the old panel missing, and I got a new panel from a salvage yard, but I can't see how to get the large multiplug routed from the side of the seat to the base where it clips on.
I don't think you can just get a lever, per se, because of the way it is attached. IIRC, it is very easy to break the lever if you try to remove it. And I don't think there is a part number for the **** (just the assembly).
I bought the entire assemble/panel (post #11) and replaced the whole thing. Take the seat out and you will see where the other wires are routed and connected. And not really sure if it has to be specific regarding it being a lumber/non-lumber panel.
Can't remember, but it was pricey for the used unit on ebay. Probably $300.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
