The odd thing is that the the aft seat height adjuster wasn't working but now it is. Need to spend time looking at as well as several items I have been putting off. Sav 98 Mercury Mystique LS

It was an option for the power seats. Check the switch connections. Maybe it is worn out (if you don't hear any sound). If you hear some clicking sound, the gear could be stripped. And does the lumbar support work? Edit. From my 1996 manual. "Power seatback (if equipped) The seatback controls on the driverâ�?��?�s seat To tilt the seatback forward or back, slide the top part of the top button forward or back. To inflate or deflate the lumbar support pads, slide the bottom of the button forward or back." Last edited by Tony2005; 11/03/05 04:35 PM.

I need to spend some time looking at it. It moves some but am trying not to play with it much 'cause I don't want it to stop in the recline position. Good to know they came with manual latches. Maybe a cheeper repair than replacing some of the power stuff. Sav 98 Mercury Mystique LS
