Would like to know if anyone experienced this problem. I have a 1996 XJ6
and all of a sudden the commands for the driver seat motor in all
direction quit running. So I am stuck driving the car in my wife's seat
position. I have checked the fuses and they all seem to work fine. Any
suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks

Swap fuses, and check that cable connections under the seat haven't come
undone; my guess is that there is more than one motor needed to make the
seat go in "all directions", so it almost has to be a fuse or a connector.

Yes, I'm pretty sure there has to be more than one motor, and I also think
this points to a connector come adrift, though they don't usually unless
they've been loose and not fully engaged previously

 I have a similar problem with my '95 XJ6 - when you turn the
ignition off, the wheel moves inward and the seat backward, but the
seat never returns to to the setting I programmed - the wheel does -
but the seat is as far back as it can go.  I'm going to try swapping
the fuses and checking the connects like others have suggested - I'll
keep you posted.

Disconect the battery and wait 5 minutes or so. If your car is a us model
you will not require a radio code.
