The drivers seat forward and back sliding was not working. I could hear the motor turning but no seat movement. I just assumed it was a broken cable. I completely took the drive mechanism apart and cleaned out desiccated glue like grease and relubricated all the drives and cables and put it back together. I used a spare battery to test the job and to my amazement the forward/backward cable still was "not engaged" in the gear or motor. I pushed on the connection and then it worked but would jump out again and just "whirrr" with no seat motion. The cable is the longest of the three and the hardest to replace so before I take it all apart again I want to be sure I am not missing something or doing something wrong. The cable is basically
3 parts 1.) out plastic boot 2) 2 crimped on connector hubs 3.) inner metal cable terminated in square ends. I assume under a load of my grease glue the hubs must have stretched or moved apart somewhat and that is the root cause of the problem. I plan to replace the cable when I get some more time but wanted to know if any of you have any better solutions. I temporarily wired two of the cables together so the long cable is now more "s" curved instead of "c" curved and that seemed to help but it is not a permanent solution. Thanks for any information. Anybody know the part number for the cables ? Have not been able to find it so far. Thanks wolf- posted
