Issue #1:
My 1997 fully automatic seat is acting weird and I cannot figure it out. The seat moves forward and it moves backward, but not back far enough for me to sit comfortably. It moves to a certain point and then stops. I got the seat removed but not sure if I even need to mess with the motor since it does move the seat, just not enough. The passenger seat moves backward far enough for me to sit comfortably, but not the driver. Any ideas? Maybe the motor is good but some kind of gearing is off?
Issue #2:
The radio does not work, it does not turn on. I checked the fuses under the hood and they are all find. I read somewhere that there is another fuse on the back of the radio, but not sure. Anyone have a suggestion?
Issue #3
No air coming out of vents. When I turn on the AC, I hear the compressor kicking in, but not air is coming out of the vents, not matter which setting I choose. Any help?
Thank you
#1: check your seat track for obstructions.
#2: pull the radio out and check for a fuse on the back side. Check for 12v across the power and ground wires in the harness.
#3: sounds like the blower motor has gone out

#1: Looks like the seat does go all the way back, but instead it just doesn't go down completely. When you pull the lever for recliner to get into the back seat and put the seat back it doesn't drop down to the floor.
#2: checked the fuse, its good and radio still does not work.
#3: still have not checked the blower
Okay quick update, I replaced the blower motor resistor and the AC and Heater are working and blowing air!
Radio still does not work.
Also, my front is very bouncy and seems like the struts are blown, anyone have recommendation on budget friendly aftermarket struts?
Thanks
I just installed these

Be sure to also install new mounts, bump stops and dust covers. You will need to swap out the springs. Tools are available cheap but a local shop may do it for about $100. It is dangerous with the spring compressors. Worth the money imo.

These shocks are for non-sport suspension. Different from sport. Finding them got a lot easier when I found out I had the touring suspension. I was not able to find preloaded struts for either suspension, except for coilovers, which are everywhere and cheap.

Whenever I looked at struts, sports were always available and cheaper that the non sports. There's only 5/8" difference in overall length between the two. With all the dropped cars on this forum a set of sport springs shouldn't be too hard to find.
