How do you remove the back seat to get to the fuel pump?

On what? 3 possible ways the rear seat cushion is removed. On some the seat has clips that lift straight up. Or some have 2 small bolts at front bottom of rear cushion. Remove the bolts and seat slides out easily. The final way is old style: a heavy wire on bottom of cushion, one on each side, fits into slots that come up from the frame underneath. To remove, push cushion hard to the rear until the heavy wires can be removed (lifted up) from the slots. Do one side at a time. These are the most difficult to remove the rear bottom cushion. You have to push hard against the cushion near the bottom of it, pushing it backwards, so the wire comes out of the slot, and then cushion can be removed. First try lifting straight up on the cushion. Since there is an access panel to the gas tank, it is very possible the cushion is easily removed by lifting straight up.

How to remove back seat of 1999 cavalier

Look on the bottom of the lower cushion, where it meets the floor. If you don't see 2 screws or bolts (one on each side of cushion) there, then there are clips that the bottom cushion uses to fit tight into the floor. To remove the bottom cushion, you shove it towards the rear and then lift up and out of where the clips hold it fast. Sometimes you really have to push the cushion hard towards the rear to get the clips loose. Then you lift up the bottom cushion and remove it. Now you can remove the upper portion of the seat. Usually there are 2 bolts down at the bottom of the upper cushion. Remove those and the upper portion can be removed. If there are no bolts on the bottom of the upper cushion, then you just lift it up and out of slots that held it fast. Do the bottom cushion first.

2020 chevy malibu driver seat won't go forward or back. But will go up down

If your 2020 Chevy Malibu driver's seat isn't moving forward or backward but is working up and down, this could be due to a few potential issues. Here's a troubleshooting guide to help you diagnose and potentially resolve the problem:

1. Check the Seat Adjustment Controls

  • Ensure you're using the correct controls: Verify that you're using the correct switch or lever for seat adjustments.
  • Test all directions: Sometimes, the control switch might be faulty or stuck. Try pressing the switch in different directions to see if it responds intermittently.

2. Inspect the Seat Motor and Mechanism

  • Listen for unusual noises: When you try to adjust the seat forward or backward, listen for any clicking or grinding noises, which could indicate a motor issue or a mechanical blockage.
  • Check for obstructions: Look under the seat for any debris or obstructions that might be interfering with the seat mechanism.

3. Check the Fuse

  • Locate the fuse box: The fuse box is typically found under the dashboard or in the engine compartment.
  • Find the seat motor fuse: Refer to your vehicle's owner's manual to identify the specific fuse related to the seat adjustment motor.
  • Inspect the fuse: If the fuse is blown, replace it with one of the same rating. A blown fuse could be causing the seat adjustment failure.

4. Inspect Wiring and Connections

  • Check the wiring harness: Look under the seat and inspect the wiring connections to ensure they are secure and not damaged.
  • Look for loose or disconnected wires: Sometimes, vibrations or movement can cause wires to become loose or disconnected.

5. Examine the Seat Tracks

  • Look for obstructions: Check the seat tracks for any debris or objects that might be blocking the movement.
  • Check for damage: Inspect the tracks for any signs of damage or bending that might prevent the seat from moving properly.

6. Test the Seat Adjustment Motor

  • Use a diagnostic tool: If you have access to an OBD-II scanner or diagnostic tool, it might be able to provide information on any issues with the seat adjustment system.
  • Check for error codes: The diagnostic tool may identify specific error codes related to the seat adjustment.

7. Consult the Dealer or a Mechanic

  • Seek professional help: If you've tried the above steps and the problem persists, it may be time to consult a professional mechanic or visit a Chevy dealership. They have the tools and expertise to diagnose and repair more complex issues with the seat adjustment system.

Additional Tips

  • Warranty Check: If your Malibu is still under warranty, check with your dealer to see if this issue is covered.
  • Avoid Force: Avoid forcing the seat to move, as this could cause further damage.
By following these steps, you should be able to identify or even resolve the issue with your seat adjustment. If in doubt, professional help is always a good option.

John Deere 4600 shuts off when put in gear,

If your John Deere 4600 shuts off when put in gear, even after bypassing the seat switch, there could be several potential causes for this issue. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can take:
  1. Check the Neutral Start Switch: The neutral start switch ensures that the tractor can only be started when it is in neutral. If this switch is malfunctioning, it may cause the engine to shut off when you engage a gear. Inspect the switch for any visible issues and consider testing or replacing it.
  2. Inspect the PTO Switch: The power take-off (PTO) switch should be disengaged when shifting gears. A malfunctioning PTO switch could be causing the engine to shut down. Check the PTO switch for proper operation.
  3. Examine Safety Interlock Switches: There are often multiple safety interlock switches on a tractor, including those associated with the brake, clutch, and other safety features. Check all safety interlock switches to ensure they are functioning correctly. A faulty safety switch could shut down the engine when a gear is engaged.
  4. Battery Voltage and Connections: Low battery voltage or poor connections could lead to electrical issues. Check the battery voltage and ensure that the connections are clean and tight.
  5. Inspect Fuses: Check the fuse box for any blown fuses. If a critical fuse is blown, it could lead to a shutdown when engaging gears.
  6. Fuel System: Ensure that the fuel system is functioning properly. Check the fuel filter, fuel lines, and fuel supply to the engine. Lack of fuel flow could result in the engine shutting down.
  7. Engine Sensors: Modern tractors are equipped with various sensors that contribute to engine control. A malfunctioning sensor, such as a crankshaft position sensor, could cause the engine to shut off unexpectedly.
  8. Professional Inspection: If the issue persists after checking the above components, it may be advisable to seek professional assistance. A qualified mechanic or John Deere service technician can perform more in-depth diagnostics using specialized tools.
It's important to approach these troubleshooting steps carefully, and if you're uncertain or uncomfortable performing certain tasks, seek assistance from a professional. Additionally, refer to the tractor's manual for specific details about the safety interlock system and troubleshooting procedures.
