    The mechanism to move the seat forward and back now has about 2" of slop after positioning. Makes it a little more difficult to brake smoothly when the seat suddenly slams forward and my foot is on the pedal. Any idea why the seat is moving?

    It's a company truck but I don't want to lose a day or two while the shop fiddles with it.

    Followed the lock lever and saw the seat latch in the back. It has a cable attached to a lever in the front of the seat far left. Moved the lever and now the seat locks up.

    Now, the engine runs, the low beam, dash lights, and cab lights work. No high beams, no turn signals, no flashers.
    Has just over 10000 miles.

    The lever in front of the seat engages or unlocks the "isolator," which allows the seat to float fore-and-aft to reduce back slap in a rough-riding truck.

    Some drivers like to use the isolator and some don't.

    Sorry, I don't drive a Cascadia any more. Keep looking for things that move and trace the cable to the levers.

    You could always read the manual.
