ACURA SEAT RECLINE FIX 

Worked on a Honda Accord. My daughter has a 2003 Honda Accord and when we bought it used, the seat did not recline then. I think it was just Used in the same position for years and just ended up ceasing up in that position. I used this idea From this post and applied it to her Honda and after a few minutes of working grease to the gears and using a a little force, it worked it self loose. Now it works good. This is a common problem with Honda’s from my research and I was afraid that I might need to get a new seat or seat motor. Until I came a cross this post. RU-vid is a wonderful thing for projects like this one. Saved a bunch of money and time. Thanks!

Sweet,..I just picked up a very nice 02 ACURA CL, found this video last night, FIXED this morning, I did have to remove the front and rear seat bolts and tip the seat up a bit to get at the rear deep screw that holds the plastic cover. Greased the gear, put back together and it works as new! EASY FIX, THANKS!

Works perfect!! My 2001 CL Type S had the seatback stuck for a year and a half! Thanks to your video, its working again! 👊👽😎🛠

This worked perfectly. I have the same car, would not go back or forward. It did't budge, but then I shot it with WD-40 and tried again the next day! Perfect.

Very helpful! This worked for my driver and passenger seat. The hard part is getting a screw into the hole to release the motor cover. I ended up having to unbolt the seats from the car so I could tilt them.

I experienced this problem and think it was from me leaning back too hard on the seat and I tried your fix and it worked!

I have a 2003 Honda Accord that the driver's seat was stuck and would not recline back or forward. Took the seat apart like you did, but the Accord did not have a sprocket with big enough gears with teeth to move it with a screwdriver. Took the seat completely apart and started to pull the leather covering off the back of the seat to access the motor. Had a difficult time removing the lumbar support on the side. So I decided to give it one more try..... I did use WD-40 and sprayed both sides of the sprockets the night before. Used a pair of ViseGrip on the center stem, using the power seat control, and at the same time moving the ViseGrip back and forth. "WOW", I hear the gear click like it got unjammed or something and was working AGAIN!! Thanks to your video and my giving it another try (actually about 4 times), I was able to get my seat RECLINING again. ^^ Plus the WD-40 ^^

Don’t get shocked with that 12volt 😂 yr a good dude

Bruh.....i havnt been able to recline for the 7 years I've owned my 03 CL-S......thought the motor was shot.....all it took was wd-40 and 2 minutes of pushing on the gear and it's fixed, fuk i feel stupid lol....THANKS DUDE!

bro thanks for the tip,it actually worked

Just did this and saved me over $200 to fix 👏🏽👏🏽

I'm going to go try this now. Sweet video man. Thanks

If you tilt the seat all the way back which I did for occasional nap; soon or later it will get stuck. That means it is mechanical because I still hear the motor and the rod is trying to rotate. If that is the case; tapping the end of the rod close to metal jaws somehow gets it out of stuck mode. The end of moving rod is too soft to ratchet. Take a big flat screw driver and get as close as possible to metal jaws and the rod then tap it by hand or hammer. Keep trying a few times and use the switch to move it forward. It worked for me.

Bro shouts out to you I literally jus finished trying & it worked. Only question I have is what kind of oil should I use to keep the gears greased

Thank you now I can take good naps with no neck pain!

Thanks alot, this helped me fix my 03 CL

Worked 100% facts put some WD-40 waited and worked

you the Man Sir !!!.. mine worked like a charm!

This video helped me I drive a 03 cl seat was doin it just did what u did and bam good as new thx bro!

Very good video help me as well on my 02 tl ! Thanks !

That was very helpful. I just did that on my TSX's seat, and it worked ❤

Thank you! I will be fixing my acura on the weekend.

Wow gracias me sirvio de mucho tu video y yo pensaba quiatr todo el asiento😂😅

This worked perfectly thank you!!!

In order to disassemble the driver's seat leather chair, I removed the seat line and installed it again. Now I can't move it. Can I help me except pulling the backrest to move?

Thanks! I'll try this on my '05 Accord. You can hear the motor taking up a little gear slack, but the seatback won't move, so maybe a little spray lube will fix it.

Thanks! It worked. Any tips on how I can get to the bolts for the passenger seat? It’s difficult to reach one

Bruh. You're awesome.

Thanks. It fixed mine!

WORKED!!.....great info, thanks

Awesome man! I'm gonna try this when I get off work.

Can't wait to try it on mine, I thought it was electrical but it wasn't so here's hoping this is the answer.

lmao just typed in acura seat fix and the exact same car spec year as mine lmao. passengers never worked but today mine stopped too so i decided to actually fix it😂😂😂

this did the trick ! Amazing ! Thank you . . .thank you . . .thank you

Thanks for the video. My Lexus rx330 is stuck at full recline position and just clicks like crazy. Gonna see if I can take the cover out and spray it with some wd40

Thanks man. This came in handy for sure

Thank you very helpful

I unplug the wires of the driver's seat, install the plug, and the seat will not move. Now I don’t know what to do. Can you help me? Thanks

How do you grease the gears do you put it on the flathead and apply it as the gears move? Also what kind of grease should I buy at my local Autozone?

Thanks 🙏 it’s good help

Damn. My Acura driver seat is doin the EXACT SAME THING And I just paid a load of money for a new one and another load of cash to have the replacement part installed.. I wish I would have found this video sooner.

I'll try that this weekend, thx sir.

Bout to try this on my 01 CL-S

Fuck yeah I’ll hit the like button bitch. That shit makes perfect sense and I already know that shit will work.

I have a 2001 Acura CL type s and while I was driving my car just shut off and I tried to crank it it just kept turning. I replaced the fuel pump and the relay and it's still won't crank. When I lock the car the headlights come on sometimes without the switch being on and there is a red light constantly flashing underneath the dash that I saw when I replace the fuel relay. I checked the fuel pump fuse it was good. Any ideas what could be wrong??

How do you get those 2 bolts off

What kinda grease did you use ?? Thanks in advance

THANK YOU SO MUCH 🙏

You’re the homie

Does this seat have an airbag? Where is it?

I an definitely going to give this a try

Thank you
