adjustment lever on Ford Fairmont '94 sedan doesn't shift forward to drop height. Please share your knowledge, thank you.

some one has had it off and not put it on in the right position, they can be a bit of a mission to get right. is it pointing up at a 45 deg angle !.

It is as you said, 45 degrees. I then pull it backwards and it moved, but won't shift forward!

Wow. Really muddled posts.

Isn't there a lever under the front of the seat to shift it forward!

Maybe I didn't make myself clear. Lever on right hand side driver's seat for high/low adjustment. Lever is now stuck on upright position. Can't shift lever forward to lower seat.

Remove the seat. It's only 4 bolts. Then you'll have access to the mechanism to see what's wrong.

Oh, and I think that lever is base tilt, not height.

I get you now. There is a little knob with a piture of a seat on it. You must pull that knob out to extend the arm and it also disengages the ratchet. Then you can lower the seat.

Height.

Yes, knob extends but cannot push it forward, suspect ratchet locking somewhere. Lever similar to post #13.

An update, lever now all ok. I pulled on lever, it extends, then stops, but, with an extra pressure in pulling it up again, it extends more for lever to be able to being pushed forward/backwards to raise/lower seat. Thank you all.
