Hi, the backrest of the driver electrical seat it's not workning, the motor sound but the backrest doesn't move, it seems this has a torque cable wich must be replaced, wich means a hard upholstry job.

The real problema it's the backrest it's in a very uncortable position, i want to move a normal position manually ( before I can afford suche kind of expense), but i can't find any information about it.

Any sugestion?

Thanks and best regards.

    Welcome to the board Luis,

    It is summer down there so it is easy to work on your car. The cable has slipped/broken and will need to be replaced. If you go to Bay 13

    http://www.volvospeed.com/Repair/seatcable1.htm

    you will find instructions to fix it yourself. The hog rings are a pain and I suggest you get plastic zip tie straps at your local hardware store. It will take a couple of hours to do this job, but you can do it yourself.

    By the way, next time you post do us a favor please and include the model/year with your post. It makes it easier for the rest of us.

    Klaus

      Hi Luis,
      Not sure of the model/year, but if you have an older 700 series I can
      help.

        Klaus, Armie, thanks a lot, my Volvo it's a 850 GLT 93', i'm very grateful. It's has been 2 very unconfortable weeks and I don't want to pay the dealer neither can afford such prices.

        Thanks a lot,

        Luis A.
