New member, first Aurora!

[aaa96]

Hey everyone, glad to be here located in Calgary, Alberta (Canada).

The Aurora has been a bucket list car for me for a long time (14 years to be precise) ever since I was a lowly detailer at a local dealership and had to detail one of these beauties; finally got around to finding one at a low enough price to make it worth any future mechanical issues.

If you're curious about my choice of username, here are the particular details of the vehicle (it will be apparent!)

Year: 1996
Color: Arctic White
Trim: Autobahn Package
Mileage: 233,760 KM (145,250 Miles)

Everything functions as it should in the interior, including the sunroof, windows etc. The only thing wonky on it is the drivers power seat switch, one position does not work well (anyone have a source for a replacement switch?)

It has the OEM Bose premium audio package, dark interior. I'll be doing a tasteful stereo upgrade in a bit (I purchased the vehicle as my platform of choice for performing in SQ car audio competitions). Just took delivery roughly 1 hour ago, so I will get some pictures taken tomorrow morning after I have a chance to get it through the car wash.

Welcome! Glad to have you aboard.

Define "does not work well" for your switch. I'd suspect your seat before I suspected the switch, but before that I'd check the wiring in the door jamb behind the boot and the wiring at the connectors under the seat.

Thank you! When I recollected last night, it was incorrect. The switch does not function at all for the recline. The seat still moves forward/back/up/down just fine. I will be gutting the interior to apply sound deadening, running cables for my stereo upgrade so I'll make sure to check all of that.

That would be my guess as well.

When I had the same problem it turned out to be a sheared off gear tooth in the recline motor on one side (the gears are plastic) so if you are finding the wiring is fine and switch functioning I'd check that next.
