I tried to sell one on ebay for $10 plus shipping. No takers!!
I thought it would be worth that much as a core for somebody.

When it stopped working I replaced it with a manual track. Best solution IMHO.
Maybe I'll cut the plug off and figure some electrical component to run off of the seat switch!!

A very reasonable solution, but some of us O.C. types want things working the way they were new. I just picked up a couple of '96 power seat frames and need the wiring diagram for the connector. Anyone have one or the schematic?

There Are 3 Nylon (or Maybe Polypropylene) Retainers, One At Each End Of The Main Worm Drive, And A Large, Complex Piece That Situates The Drive Gear Shafts.

Mine Is A 92, Owned Since New, With 21k Miles. Lots Of Stuff Going Wrong By Now, Mostly Victims Of Age. Anyway, The Nylon Retainers Fracture, Causing Inadequate Meshing Of The Gears. Probably Impossible To Buy Components, So I'm Going To Try Something Experimental And Cheap. 2 Of The 3 Retainers On Mine Are Broken, But Only The Forward/reverse Has Completely Failed. I'm Going To Make A Steel Stiffener To Sandwich The Primary Retainer In Place When I Rivet The Housing Back Together.

The Idea Is To Force The Broken Retainer Pieces Into Position By The Addition Of The Stiffener. Hoping This Works, Since The Alternative Is Rediculous.

Anyone Else Have Thoughts?

The only thought that crosses my mind is why the **** did you capitalize the first letter of every single word????
