'93 940 front seats?

Post by gmpalmer »

The passenger seat in my 940 has been disconnected (?) from the controls (they, at any rate, do not work).

How do I go about taking out / repairing the seat?

And is there an easy way to fix the seat heaters?

Before removing the seats have a good look at the electrical connectors under the seat. They may have been disconnected for some reason by a previous owner.

Removing the seats is a time consuming job as various other bits and pieces need to be done before they will come out.

With regard to the seat heaters, again check the connectors and see if they are connected. You should be looking for the connector with the white/black and black wires. Bear in mind that at this time of year it may not yet be cold enough for them to work. Replacing the heated seat pads necessitates stripping the seat down to the frame.
