Sorry to resurrect this old thread.

My passenger side seat has stopped electrically tilting. (I have an early 1997 986 with the basic seats -- electric tilt and manual fore/aft.)

I believe to diagnose the problem I need to get to the electric connector under the seat which will (presumably) mean removing the seat as described in this thread. I'll also need to check it for 12v power at that connector which (presumably) requires turning the ignition to the on position.

Does this mean I absolutely have to go to the dealer to reset the airbag system? (Of course, that won't be the end of the world as the airbag light is actually already on.)

Thanks.
