I've encountered this problem on a couple of different '71 Imperials over the years. Another less-likely option would be an electrical problem with either the switches or the motors. One simple question will point to the problem -- do you hear a "click" or any other noise when you move the toggle switches? If no, the problem is electrical. If yes, the seats are indeed stuck. If the seats are stuck, a few well-placed hammer blows will most likely loosen them. If you look under the seats, you can clearly see all the tracks that the seats move on. Take a big, heavy hammer and give a good "whack" or two to the heavy metal potions of the mechanisms that you can see at the extreme front and rear of the seats. Be sure that you're aiming at the parts that are obviously made of a heavy gauge metal. Hit them pretty hard a couple of times, and then try the switch again. I've used this method successfully several times. Good luck! Elijah 3 '71 Imperials with occasionally stuck seats __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
