And I'm also going to a pick 'n' pull tomorrow, and I know that the seat I'm going to try won't have power, so how do I remove the driver power seat without power?

 

Great question. If it was me, I think I'd take some jumper cables and just jump some power right into the scrap car's batt cables. Don't even need a key for the seats.

 

Yeah, I though of that, but I don't think I'll be able to get my car in there, since it's rows upon rows upon rows upon....well, you get it. And that's interesting, I thought the key had to be in the acc. position.

 

Not on my dear departed 96 A4, or on my current 99.5 A4.

You might have to take out the battery and carry that to the cadaver. Cause I'm really not sure how to get to the front torx bolts without moving the seat back.

 

Right, well you wouldn't be able to slide the seat back out of the tracks to actually get it out, either.

 

I've done that a few times, as I recall once you get the two front torx bolts out, then the seat can slide back. Then you just have to remove the stops on the back end of the rails to slide the guides all the way out of the rails.

I think it helps getting the big beast out of the car if you tilt the back forward a bit.

 

Alright, just got back from the pick 'n' pull. Didn't get a seat, I figured I'd wait for papa dukes to help me out on that one. But I did, ironically, pick up a new sunroof switch and facelift taillights. I say ironically because I just bought those two things from BaseDrifter, haven't even got 'em yet! But the ones I got from BaseDrifter are the '98s with the white at the top, I like these a little better. And the sunroof switch, literally, looks brand new. Anyway, the wiring for the taillights aren't the same, are they.... Because my reverse light is now my turn signal. How do I fix it? Play with the pins until I get it right?

 

Oh, and now whenever I plug the new sunroof switch in, it blows a fuse. Why?

 

I assume you got facelift taillights? You have to swap the pins in the plug.

What fuse is blowing?

 

The one that controls the blinkers and interior lights. And yeah, the facelift ones. Thank you!!
