1955 Ford Thunderbird Power Seat Fix [Collector Car Guru Workshop]

When it comes to classic vehicles, non-operational components can be frustrating to diagnose. Could be electrical. Could be mechanical. Could be both. The Collector Car Guru Sam Barer walks through fixing the electrical and mechanical issues that prevented the power seats on a 1955 Ford Thunderbird from working.

Sam good to see you around. Very informative. Think about trying to replace the heater motor on a 71 Thunderbird.👤

Thanks! Some heater motors are simple to replace -- being done from the engine bay and take ten minutes, but I seem to recall the 71 Tbird requires pulling the heater box down from the glovebox in the interior. I would suggest getting a new squirrel cage (blower fan attachment), since the one in there is probably broken into many pieces after 51 years. I know I am broken and in pieces after 51 years!

a video on door alignment would be GREAT!!!

While the windows on this '55 needed a ton of alignment, the doors themselves were spot-on.

@@soundclassics I have a 56, and it seems the doors are a bit out of line, gaps are not true from front to back. have not been able to find a video n how to do that
