Fix front seat in a 1996 rodeo

Is it power? If so, youll have to remove the seat and replace the seat motor.

at the front of your seat(left side for the driver seat & right side for the passenger seat)rite at the curved corner in front of the seat beside your knees, the cloth seat has a hard plastic corner guard over the top directly in the middle of the corner in the front of the seat, and smack in the center is a up & down switch similar to that of the back seat window switch. it is well hidden & I had to have my head down there to discover it in the year2010, on a 1996 auto. the previous owner of the car did not believe me.

These are hydraulic and need no adjustment.

I have a 95 Rodeo and the fuse box is behind a rectangular cover above your left knee when you are sitting in the driver's seat. It may be in the same location as the 96.

try fabricating lift blocks out of polyuretane and longer monunting bolts this should be cheaper than a new seat or kit

If any of these conditions are not met, check for proper installation of positioning spring onto front seat head rest guide rod sleeve.
   
   Adjust front seat back head restraint by applying hand pressure, either up or down, to center area of front seat back head restraint.
   

There should be two seat belt clip notches in the seat where the seat belt clips comes out the seat. In those two notches there is also a strap in each notch that doesn't look like it really belongs there. Pull those two straps at the same time and the seat pops up and folds down. The back rest part of the seat will then fold down. Remove the head rest section of the back rest and it will fold all the way down.

The alternator is located on the passenger side of the motor at the bottom. There is a bracket attached to the motor and the alternator. You need not take the bracket off to remove the alternator. Two bolts hold the alternator to the bracket. One bolt is on the front top of the alternator and one bolt is located on the bottom front of the alternator. The bottom front bolt is attached to the tension adjustment for the alternator. Loosen the tension screw then remove the bolt going through the tension adjustment. After you loosen the top, front bolt, the alternator should be loose enough to move side to side. Remove the top, front bolt. Now you must disconnect the alternator from the power supply. Behind the alternator is a screw with a wire attached via nut. Remove this wire. Nextly there is a series of wires with a plug on the end. It is plugged into the side of the alternator. Uplug this item. You can also access both of these from the passenger side front tire well. Something to consider is that remanufactured alternators in Rodeo's as well as the Honda Passport (which has the same engine as the Rodeo) do not work and the problem(s) associated with a bad alternator,ie; not charging, no fan blower, battery light and brake light on, still exsist after replacing alternator with reman. Use a factory original alternator if possible. It will cost a little more than a reman but will most likely save you a lot of time and headache!

Hope this helps you out!!
