If your power seats (either driver's or passenger seat swivels left or right, (meaning that one side of the seat moves and the other does not)it is a pretty typical complaint on 960 Models. Don't despair; there's a fairly simples fix for this problem. Thanks to "Mark" who provided the following information to me on this message board. I followed his instructions in the second paragraph and was able to engage the non-funtioning servo and move the seat to the desired position. I'll fix more permanently at a later date.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"What is going on is one of the cables has pulled back inside of the sheath and is no longer driving the servo. You will need to pull the seat out and do one of two things, remove the cable assembly and replace it or pop the cable loose from one end (usually the motor end), pull the cable out of the sheath, cut the metal piece off of the end of it, remove the piece of plastic sheath from the metal piece, put some good glue on the end of the sheath and in the metal piece, hammer the metal piece back onto the plastic sheath, make sure that you get no glue in where the cable spins, use a pair of vice grips and a rag to hold the sheath while you hammer the metal piece back on, and then reassemble it."
Prior to doing this you need to figure out which cable is screwy. To do this run the seat forwards and backwards and see which side is moving and which is stationary. Obvioulsy the stationary side is the one you want, run the seat up as high as it will go so you can see under it and follow the cables from the motors to their respective servos. When you find the one that runs to the dead servo grab it in hand and run the seat forwards or backwards and make sure that you feel the cable spinning in the sheath. IF it does then at this point you can usually get it to run forwards and backwards by pushing that cable one way or the other and getting it to engage. Doing this will allow you to move the seat all the way one way or the other which will facilitate accessing the bolts to remove the seat.
I know this is a lot of stuff to digest at once and I have done it so many times that I no doubt may have glossed over a few items. Take a look at your seat and see if this isn't the problem, feel free to contact me.
