so a few weeks ago my wife and I bought a 2006 chevy colorado crew cab. it had a few minor simple things wrong with that that I talked the dealer down about $1000 for me to just fix it. so far its only cost me $100 and some time at the school shop getting school credit to fix them.

One of the issues it had was the seat recliner handle was broken, so I bought a new handle and installed it and it brought the seat forward but now the handle just spins in circles its like there was some linkage that came apart or unhooked or something. I guess Ill just take it apart at school when I get the chance, but untill then I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on what could be wrong and how they work. thanks.

hey guys! sorry it took me so long to get back to this it took me a while to get back to it. so I finally discovered that it was actually the new recliner handle. the metal insert didnt fit tight enough to activate the seat part so it would just spin inside the handle.

so I took some glue and glued it in there. after that my seat reclliner works amazing :)
