Update on (Lack of Headroom for 940)and (A/C Problem). 900

Hi everybody.It is a 93 940, power driver seat and sunroof.After giving up in junkyards for not finding a seat,i pulled the seat of another 940 i have.Close inspection revealed that i have 2 bent front brackets that hold the seat to the frame.Took the bolts out and straightened those brackets back down,now the seat is back to normal:).
The A/C compressor wasn't engaging,i reflowed the solder and even swapped the control unit with a known good one with no succes.After tracing the wires at the firewall that go to the low switch , i found a broken one (as if somebody has cut it in half with a pair of pliers).Repaired the wire back and the A/C is working fine now:).
Thankyou everyone for taking the time to reply to my posts.
I wish everybody Happy and safe Holidays and drive safely.
Charles.

Dear Charles,

Good a.m. and may this find you well. BRAVO: for persevering, finding the faults, and fixing them!!!

I wonder how the seat brackets came to be bent. They're pretty heavy-duty. Perhaps the car was owned by someone, who needed the extra height, and bent (had bent) the brackets. They must have bent them pretty far, to produce the symptoms you described.

As to the air conditioning, it is hard to imagine how a wire would be cut so cleanly by "accident".

In any case, Happy Holidays, and a Good, Healthy New Year!!

Yours faithfully,

spook
