I have a 99 986 with 8 way power seats. The passenger seat switch lever/button that moves the seat forward/back and up/down does not feel like it is sitting on the switch. I know that the switch works because if I really mess around with it, I can get the seat to move forward and back. It feels like there is a spring missing or something because there is no resistance in the lever. I know that Porsche will want to sell me a new switch but is there any way to repair it if I can get it off? I don't see where there are individual parts available for the switch, so if there is something missing, where can I find the parts to fix it?
