Title: WANTED 6-Way Power Seat Solenoids
Post by: chstitans42 on August 07, 2019, 06:11:12 PM
Looking for a pair of solenoids for the '56 six way power seat. I have one that works but the other two dont. Anyone have a pair I can buy for a reasonable price?
Thanks!

I assume the ones the shaft runs thruogh.  I have them.
First, does it sound like they are trying to work?  If so, I have found they are just gummed up and can be freed up by carefully removing the aluminum cap off the top.  Be careful, there is a very TINY spring under the plunger.  Spraying Knockp[r[loose and working them typically frees them up. 
Might save you some money.
