1998 S90 Driver's power seat stuck

anbran1 · Post by **anbran1** » 02 Sep 2014, 19:11

A (short) friend of mine drove my S90 and had to move the seat up to reach the pedals. Now the seat won't go back on the right side rail. I've heard that this is common and has to do with a cable from one of the motors...

Any suggestions?

I did repair my 960 with the same issue using a video I can't seem to find. You have to trim the insulation for a cable that slips out of the drive.

I think it was on youtube from RobertDIY. You can send him an email, he usually responds.

I also have this issue. However I can not find which cable to pull to trim.

Although some say you can leave the seat in the car, I had to take mine out to reach. There are 3 motors and cables and I think it is the cable/motor closest to the center console. I will do some research and try to find the video/article.

I did find this article that gives you a step by step. I will be using it again as my passenger seat now is having the same issue.
