Ok my 95 Gt Drivers side powerseat motor, quit working

it just makes noise but no movement when i press the button,

so i took the seat out to look at the motor and i cant figure out how to remove the motor,

any ideas,

i imagine the motor has to come off the bottom of the seat, someone told me i might have to change out the whole seat..... i dont see that happening.


i got a HAYNES manual, but it dont tell you $hit
thanks..............

go to the junk yard, and buy a manual seat bracket. It is help to the seat by 4 bolts... swap your bracket and be done with it

before you do that, take the seat out and lubethe worm gearup with some grease. Mine locked up on my last year and that fixed it.

mine does the same thing. to move it i have to push down and help it move back.

My seat hasnt moved in the 2 years that I have owned my car... So I dont realy see the need for power seats brackets.

If you hear the motor but it aint moving that mostlikely its not the motor but the gears. Will need new gears or a new bottom braket.

I'm not sure how the power seats work in mustangs, but in my 99 Z-71 there was a cable that would get off track and cause the seat from moving. You could hear the motor running but it would not move. Anyway i put the cable back on track and it was fine.

Clarification: I use to own the truck. But when i sold my nova and bought a mustang, i also sold the truck and bought and bought an old F-250. I busted the gears twice in the chevy and couldn't figure out why. I'm talking just normal driving and they broke twice. I could be at a red light fully stopped and the truck would lurge forward so violently that i would look in my rear view thinking someone had hit me. I finally saw the problem when i put a lift kit on it. The crossmember that tied the frame up front had hit a stump hard. It looked like a perfect U, so the truck was like alway's in a bind.Never noticed it untill i had to pull the skid plate off. I told a mechanic what was wrong with it and sold it for lowbook value. WOOOOHOOOOO

The guy I work with had the same problem on his 94, he just went to the yard and got a manual seat bracket. If you pick up the brackets for the seat, getting the motor out in one piece isn't really an issue anymore.

well i work at a junk yard so i can just take one out of a mustang, does it matter if its driver or passenger side, and how do i pull the bracket off the seat
