VS Caprice electric seats

[coolngroovy]

G'day all,
Can someone tell me how to set the memory on my seats.
The car is fitted with 8 way electric seats. When the car is switched off, the pass/side seat goes back to a stupid position.
Cheers, Col.

i dont think the passenger side has the memory option, only drivers side.

[coolngroovy]

How do i operate the seat memory?
Where can i buy new plastic bits for the seat sides?

Not sure what the buttons look like on a VS but with a WH you put the seat in the position you want and then press and hold one of the three memory buttons until you hear a tone.
Wreckers or Holden for the parts you mentioned.

I just rang the local holden dealer. The seat plastics are NLA......since 2004.

Hmmmm.....i turned on the ignit......pressed memo 1......seat seems to be staying in the right position.

yes you are right, the passager seat does not have memory. ONLY the driver seat. And those plastic bit comes out in 2 colours one light grey the other light blue. I've got a set of light grey in good condition. As to getting the memory to work. 1 get into the postion you want 2 depress and hold memo (memory) button 3 press button 1 while and memo button is held 4 the red light on the switches is designed to warn you that you are altering the memory 5 release both buttons

That's the info i was looking for. Thankyou.

It would have been easier if i had an owners manual when i bought the car. LOL

I know the car has a heap more features than i ever use. [or know of].
I've never played with the dash/trip/over speed ect since i bought it.

Could you use a standard commodore seat plastic and modify it?

[coolngroovy]

I'm not sure m8.
I think, because the electric seats have 'windows' cut out for the switches, if you tried to make them fit it would end in disaster.

[pjdm1980]

So you couldn't just cut out the holes?

[VRSS]

or you could just buy the correct part

[coolngroovy]

So you couldn't just cut out the holes?

Cutting out the holes wouldn't be too much of a problem.
It's the 2-3mm bit between the holes that i think would be a problem.

[pjdm1980]

All i can say is give it go, probably save yourself some bucks!
Can't hurt.

I tried making a new scratch plate for my brothers guitar once. It was supposed to be a x-mas pressy for him.
It was $50 for the material. I marked it all out....cut it to shape....bevelled it...then while i was drilling the last hole for the pickup, the whole thing ended up in 100 pieces! lol
I haven't forgotten that lesson. I rekon cutting the holes in the seat sides would end up the same.

mate they are complete diffenent commodores to caprice, even if it fits it wouldn't even look right

[shanhsv]

the plastic bit are anoyingly fragile,i have a almost full seat of caprice seats(currently hunting down wiring for drivers seat and memory switch) and they break piss easy,not sure if i should find better ones in the same colour(i have 2 different coloured bits) or clue and paint what i have.
