seat problem help please!!

[essex boy]

i hope someone can help on this ,not really a porsche related question bit thought the principle might be the same.anyway here goes.my freind has just bought a ford escort van ,he has replaced with leather seats but they have electric height adjustment but he has no power feed for these,the question is can these be adjusted manually,hope this makes sense.

any help would be much apprecieated.

cheers

I have limited experience of electric seat, however using electric dampers and actuators at work, they rearly come with a mechanical over ride. This would knock out limit switches and any over run timers. The exception to this is things that need a manual over ride, such as smoke dampers at work or the headlights on a 944 etc. I don't think they would have built it into a seat.

Could you get a live feed from somewhere?
