I have a 2007 Crown Vic Sport. The driver seat power recline has quit working. All other seat functions are fine. What's more likely, the switch or the recline motor?
Looks like the seat has to come apart to get to the motor.... fun!

Try loosening the switch and jumper the back side to see if the recline works. If not, enjoy taking it apart. Go to www.crownvic.net to search for a write-up somebody did on the motors.

I added CAI, NICHE 19 X 8.5 " wheels with 245/45ZR 19 rubbers, and completely rebuilt the front end with poly bushings, Kooks headers, 2 1/4inch exhaust, TCI 2200-2400 rpm Stall converter

Thanks! I will check the switch first.

For some reason, I can't register on www.crownvic.net. They won't approve the registration???
