DIY How to Manually Adjust Power Seats in a GMC Chevy Vehicle Blazer Jimmy S10 Silverado Sierra

This video demonstrates how a power drill can be used to manually adjust a power seat that will not go forward or back. You can also use a 1\4" drive ratchet and a square bit socket, however, the adjustment will be much slower. The vehicle in this video was a 1998 Chevy Blazer with power seats, but the process will be the same or similar on many other vehicles including Jimmy, S10 pickups, Sierras, Silverados and many others

Just wanted to say THANK YOU for posting this video. I was just able to move the seat on my mom's old Jimmy that was stuck. I have zero auto mechanic training so your video gave me everything I needed. God bless.

I can confirm this will work with 99-02 silverado seats! I just did it on a 2002 silverado with ease! And if that's the case it will work with yukons, tahoe's, suburbans and many more! GREAT VIDEO!

It works...just had to remove the motor. Thanks for the upload!

Great video! This saved me big time when my 2011 Nissan Titan driver’s seat got stuck all the way forward 😂 Thank you sir!

After struggling with the seat for a week I decided to try your method of using the flexible cord under the seat and bingo! my problem was solved.

Is there a Part 1 because you are not showing where this is located or how to get to it.

[CarrieScott-roz]

Does this method work in a 2001 Chevy Suburban driver seat

[iceagetb]

how do you make the bottom go down like it's supposed to? I'm having that problem in a 04 escalade drivers side

[jimbomendoza]

Hi Mark! I wonder if this can also be done to a 2000 Buick LeSabre? Thanks in advance.:)

[runzola]

How do you do it in an 08 chevy suburban...my recline up doesn't work

[gmoney]

Just spin the rod coming out the back with a drill! I used a nut extractor for stripped out nut moved easy

[brettluster]

Mine goes forward and backwards .
I need to raise the seat up
But if the forward/ reverse quits this will help. 😎👍🏼

[JulioVaca-uz]

Do you know how to do this for the Chevy LS cateye

[martmart]

I need help!! Chevy sliverado here that manually reclines forward or back and windows are manual as well. Seat is stuck forward and the lever isnt doing anything.

[terrellh]

Does this work for the recline part as well?

[MrSugarbear]

Would this work on a 2014 Chevy captiva sport? My driver seat top went straight back and the fuse pops every time I put one in
