Power seat stuck full forward!

[-chris-]

Hi,

I've been trying to fitt heated seats in my 04 V70 following mikealders guide.

I've now spent a day and a half doing it (very hard job on your own!!) and have bloodied and bruised hands to prove it! So far i have the heat pads in and all the wiring fixed to the seat. Todays job was to put the seats back in and wire the heater pads up to the volvo heated seat wires.

Long story short i've cocked it up a tad.

Problem 1: I managed to remove the drivers seat in full forward, now i cant get in to bolt it back!! Had to plug the seat in to try and power it up and move it back but the seat wont work.

Not sure i how the best way to trace a fault on the power seat is?

Ive checked the fuses and have a multimeter but not sure where to start.

Problem 2: in trying to resolve the above i turned on the ignition causing the car to throw an airbag fault as the passengers seat was in the lounge at this point.. More haste less speed i know..

Not sure if this airbag service warning could disable the seats?

Any advice GREATLY received.

Thanks
Chris
