Hi all, need to remove my power seats, and noticed 3 copper lines. Are these seats electro-hydraulic actuated?

No hydraulic fluid, those are cables.

Thanks you Sir. Figured it our when I removed them. They seem to work, except the "track" is rusted tight, forward to rear, on driver's side. Also the "Wear strip(?)" is missing from the drivers side track.

Anyone have experience overhauling the mechanism? ANY help MUCH appreciated.

I haven't tackled mine yet, but here is a parts blow up...

I know that everything can come apart. The old grease inside will be hard as a rock...

THANKS WIZARD!!

What a great writeup!

Why is that not a sticky post for reference?

It's difficult because there are so many good threads here on the forum that the sticky thread list would be very long. I have saved some in my favourites as bookmarks - works much better than to try to search here on the forum.
