How to manually lower drivers seat!!! Help

[bigceltic]

My power seat (2006 Ram 2500 Mega) got stuck with the front at max height - motor died/stripped out. I have one on order.

Is there any way I can manually lower the front of the seat? I need help asap as it is basically undriveable right now!

Thanks in advance
George

Update. I ended up getting it to lower - had to cut the screw part out and then zip tied it to the frame so it won't tilt back. Now I have to source a replacement!

Does anyone have a part number? It is for a 3 way drivers power seat (Laramie Trim) frame? I read somewhere that it is sold with all the motors attached.

The OEM seat assy is the base with all 3 motors. The one that was replaced on my 04 was about 600$ back when it was done 10y ago, not sure if they are still available. Geno's Garage has replacement motors and gearboxes that can be ordered, that is what I did when the rear motor went out on the passenger side., very simple to replace and cost effective.

It may be totally different on your '06, but on my '98, I disconnected the motor from the screw (or the motor from the frame, it's been a LONG time and I'm OLD...), turned the screw where I wanted it, and connected it back up. It stayed there without any other mods.

Thanks! I ordered the motor.
