My 960 has the 3 memory seat for the driver and standard power for the passenger.
Symptoms: Passenger seat does nothing as if it's not getting power. Driver seat functions all work EXCEPT the forward/backward adjustment that brings the seat closer to or farther from the wheel. It tries to move but acts like it's jammed. IOW - it moves just a micron then stops in either direction. So it appears that electrically - the drivers seat is ok.
I've got electronic access to the factory service manual and printed out the sections related to the power seats. Holy-mother-of-god! It's over 1 inch of paper double sided...Who would have thought there was that much complication with a pair of power seats. From the looks of it - they have their own computer and diagnostic systems. I read that a jammed button will stop all functions of a seat so I checked the passenger side and found all outwardly OK.
So my question is - Does anyone have any tips on what to look for? I know to disable the SIPS system so i won't be killed...Has anyone had similar problems with these seats that can offer advice or cautions?
