Volvo 960 electic seat jam

Jan 25, 2006 1 Replies

My volvo 960 electric drivers seat has jammed in the furthest back position. As a result I cannot get to the bolts on the rear runners to fully remove the seat to get at the drive to either unjam the mechanism or to change the electric motor. I think a box spanner may not be small enough to get into place to loosen the bolts Any ideas?



Get hold of the manual winding handle which will enable you to wind the seat forward to a position where the motor might pick up a signal again. The usual cause for this is the feedback potentiometer for motor rack position.

All the best, Peter.
