Customer Question

I have a 1996 Saab 900 2.0 liter..I moved my seat forward (elec) and now BOTH seats will not move any direction. BOTH fuses are good of course (30A) and I checked th BIG fuses under hood. I saw a couple connectors under seat that looked connected. Could be a bad common ground???? My knees are httitng dash board OUCH FYI my previous problem of no gauges, tranny stuck i 4th gear ad sometimes not starting was corrosion on fuse #15 Ithink that was making bad contact and controls all of those I did NOT replace the Computer $$ weeird issue huh

Ok then the issue is the module under the drivers seat has this been checked yet?

Customer replied 300 days and 7 hours ago.

It controls both seats I assume???/ or is there the same module" under passenger seat too? of course looking for something COMMON to both.?


I did have 12V on each fuse for right and left seats.


 


looks like module just snaps into place?

Yes that module controls both seats and is a common failure .This is a very expensive part so I would get it from ebay or a salvage yard to save a lot of money.The module is easily replaced just snaps out and unplugs to remove and installed in the reverse order.
Hoped all these helped.Also please remember the site has changed and you need to click got the job done or higher or 3 stars or higher so I get credit for my help . Anything else will give me negative feedback and I will not get credit fort help.If you need any further assistance or any questions please let me know.
