witch doctor, I'm in the Mandarin area.

Sorry, I actually forgot about this thread for awhile. I've been painting furniture lately, but I did some tinkering and now know how to at least get the back seats out. Spring break starts after next week, and this is #1 on my list of things to do.

Well, I replaced my cylinders a couple of weeks ago. It was about a 3 hour job, but I could do it in 2 now that I know what's involved.

Just try filling the top motor with ATF, pretty sure that'll do it.

Actually, it could be a relay. There are two relays by the pump motor. You could try swapping them and see if it'll go up but not down. If it does, take the relay to the parts store and they'll fix you up.
