I just thought go on UA-cam and found three videos for my Toyota Camry but they were so long when I saw yours and how quick it would be to fix I was hooked. My car wouldn’t start after I fixed my seat haha. But that’s been happening just need a jump Vac light goes on and off drives me nuts. Anyway thank you.

    I think this is what keeps making my battery die I replaced battery and started and realized my passenger chair was all the way up because I’ve been trying to find info. So I hope this is the issue because I’ve spent about $800 getting all these things replaced. I don’t have anyone who drive with me which makes it strange on why my seat would be pushed up. Anywho I’ll try today
