Re: IML: 65 Power Seat Switch Problem

[Chris Hawkins <imperial1966@xxxxxxxxx>]

Wire loose on the solenoid that controls up and down. 
Or solenoid is sticking.  Or drive cable is broken.   

Check the wiring and be sure there are three wires
connected to three solenoids.  If so, try the switch
repeatedly while the engine is running (for more
electical power).  You may loosen solenoid enough to
engage motor.  Solenoids can stick, if not used
regularly.
