Electric seat relays 700 1987

posted by  someone claiming to be Andy Brennan on  Fri Jul 6 02:22 CST 2001 [RELATED]

The electric seat adjustment on my 760 is not working (any of them). There is 12 volts at each of the 2 fuses in the fuse box, but nothing on any of the wires entering the seat controller. Is there a relay somewhere ? Is so, where ?

Thanks

After 3 mechanics I did it myself... I had intermitent to no operation. I found the several cold/broken solder joints on the bottom of the circuit board... Take it apart, there are screws underneath the controls, you can turn them by hand... snap it apart and get to the bottom and resolder everything! I know I saw a few broken connections, yet it still did not work... Not until I resoldered every connection well, did it all fire up, been fine since.

My '88 760 has a STOP button at the seat controller. If it gets stuck in the down position, you get no power. They do get stuck. Check that too in case it's your problem.
