97 E150 conversion van power seats
Does anybody know how to find power seat motors? My van has 3 motors on drivers seat. The front motor controls forward and backward motion. It seems like the motor runs out of power after it moves the seat a short distance in either direction. I know it is the motor because I pulled the seat out and hooked my boat battery directly to the motor and it reacts the same. I can't find the right motor or the part #s. HELP !! BILLYBOB

If your problematic seats were supplied/installed by the van converter you're most likely SOL finding replacement parts. If there's a brand name and part number on the motor itself that might help finding one.

Thanks for your response---- as you say I am SOL. Problem #2 you may help with. My rear cargo door (back side) on passenger side leaks at top right corner. I have replaced the door seal OEM Ford parts. There is a 1/2" gap at top right. What is the correct procedure to bring that back in. Also the door is not quite flush with body panel and the door needs extra coercion to close. Thanks, Bill

Have you ever removed the doors? They are difficult to put back in the same location.
Has the vehicle been in an accident? I had issues aligning my side barn doors. I finally brought it to my mechanic who seems better at aligning body parts than most body shops. $50. I did not have the leaking problem.

As for your door issue without photos I won't speculate what happened to cause your issue nor offer any advice how to fix something I can't see.
