I got a pair of seats from I think a Dodge stealth which are pretty cool. I'm gonna put them in my pick up and loose the bench seat.
My question is on the drivers side there is a button that says "memory" but wasn't connected to any electricity or anything. I don't really know what it does and am curious what it does.
The seats are manual and cloth. Only the drivers side got the goodies, cheap bastards!
I'll post a lousy picture of the knob in question if it helps.
Thanks for the info folks!
I guess the reason the car wasn't totally gutted and thrashed is no one is really interested in them. The Stealth still even had a complete engine, and it wasn't disassembled and put inside the car.
Every honda, toyota, nissan, etc was pretty much junk inside. Only 1 in 10 cars had seats that were clean enough to use, of those half were electric and I'm not paying more for something I can't use. The coolest seats were out of a VW jetta GL, but VW/Oddy uses a type of bracket slide that would require more work than I wanted to put in. Some of the BMW leather seats are really nice but most are electric and of deteriorated leather, but nice seats nonetheless. Nissan/infinities had pretty nice seats, I almost got a set of grey leather seats in good shape from an old maxima, but they didn't have any lumbar or movements and I like all the goodies. Jaguars used pretty nice seats to fit portly englishmen, but they look large, heavy, and electric.
If anyone has any info on how the drivers seat "memory" is suppossed to work I would appreciate it. right now the seat has the memory of a golfish.
cant say i know, sounds like its there as an option that isnt used in this example. perhaps its for mirror adjustment if not seat?
The yard removed the relay from the back.
The wife like the seat one way. Adjust., Program memory into seat.
You like the seat one way Adjust. Program setting into seat
Hit the memory button, and the seat will motor itself to whatever setting it currently isn't in.
Great option when one person is tall, and the other short.
Thanks for the information, it looks like I deleted this option, doesn't bother me.
What triumph5 is describing is for power seats - but you're saying the seats are fully manual?
In that case, the button is for the seatback recline angle. You adjust the seatback to be at the angle you like, then push the "memory" button. When you flip forward the seat (to let someone into the back - obviously not an issue for a truck but often used in coupes) then push it back, the seatback will return to the angle you had it. Typically after flipping the seats forward the seatback returns to the standard factory set angle that's always too upright for me, so it saves you from having to re-adjust the seatback every time you let someone into the back seat.
My Preludes have this button as well.
Button just behind the recline handle.
That is the one, thank you guys for the information. If anyone is able to get behind the seat in my pickup they are either really skinny or being smuggled into the country.
I know the button showed the backrest but I'm not too keen on all these modern goodies, I like my cars simple. Too bad the penny pinchers figured to only make the drivers seat bitchin would save X amount per year.
