Toyota Solara. How to fix the driver seat recline?

The seat isn't electric for recline? There are known issues with seats. If it is a manually operated seat, I would remove it and look underneath. It sounds like a broken spring or loose connection to a linkage.

Memory seat does not fully recline

Sounds like you lost basic settings for the seat. Recline the seat all the way forward and all the way back a couple of times. That should reset the settings and work properly

Back tilt is a manual round knob on drivers seat it just turns

It sounds like the inside of the recliner knob is stripped out. If you go to your local GM dealership and give them your VIN number they can order you a new one. Here is the removal and installation directions.

Drivers side seat is reclined and seat won't go forward

That would be listed in the owners manual. If you don't have one go here and download it.

HONDA ACCORD Seats Front Assembly Recliner went down and won't go up

I wouldn't ruin anything by trying things yourself

I would have a dealer check it out

The dealer I used in the past, has a seat specialist come
in on Wed only, around 5:30 after the service bays close
& one service writer hangs out until that person fixes a
couple vehicles seat issues

Front drivers seat won't recline and its stuck

I just had the recline of my driver seat go out today. What happened to mine was the interior plastic of the handle that wrapped around the release mechanism fell apart all I had to do was take the handle off. I used a small Crescent wrench to to pull the lever mechanism towards the trunk. The same direction the handle would of pulled it, and it made the chair recline I got it set to where I liked it and now I'm just going to use some bondo and put the handle back on. Most fixes doesn't require the entire assembly to be replaced and taking it to the dealership will just have them charge you for the entire price for the system regardless of how simple of a fix it actually was. I have saved my self thousands of dollars doing simple fixes my self, and if you have even the slightest amount of intellect you can do it too.

Front seats recliners won't "click" in the upright position.

personally i would pull the seats and weld them into a position that is comfortable both sides of the seat should be welded. a small mig welder would take care of this issue nicely and permanently ! .. jay Florida

Veracruz driver seat

Hi tlocker,

Sorry to tell you, but if we're talking about an electrically operated seat, there's no short cut....The seat will have to be removed and then you'll have to sort out why the motor reversal does not work....Could be a bad connection..... If it's a manual operation then you'll have to find out where its stuck....

I purchase a seat with the tracks and the motor from a junk yard because I figured my drivers seat motor was gone but that's when I discovered it has three different motors. so I installed the motors and they were working before I left the salvage yard but they do the same exact thing only 6 since out of the 8 functions are working. So I figured the switch was bad so I installed that as well and nothing changed so I took the switch apart and grabbed my test light and I began to press the switches for the various functions and I discovered that all of the switches are getting power but only the recline switch is not putting out so now I think its maybe the module under my seat

have you taken the switch off and checked the copper contact
Anonymous May 18, 2011

Yes they are all intact and have no debris restricting them whatsoever

I found out the problem the reclined switch is putting out power I didn't realize that there is a motor for the recliner in the back part of the seat. I unplugged the wire going to the seat motor and the harness is getting power so it is a fact that the recliner motor in the seat is bad. How can I remove the seat motor without destroying the leather seat
