Power seat repaired, only jogs forward

    I know this question has been asked before, but I am asking again because I
    haven't been able to find the answer quickly. The power seat back on my '94
    850 wagon wasn't moving forward. So I did the fix on
    http://www.volvospeed.com/Repair/seatcable2.php but instead of replacing the
    cable, I shortened it as per the instructions in 'power seat issues' thread.
    The good news, is I can now jog the seat forward. What do I need to do to
    have it go back and forth normally? I have read someplace about resetting
    travel potentiometers, is that something that needs to be done here?

    Appreciate any help

    I found an answer, please disregard. My wife will now be happy, her seat
    won't always be too far reclined!

    For anyelse who is interested. Once the cable has been repaired the seat
    back will either be too far back or too far forward. If it's too far
    back pull steadily forward on the headrest while jogging the switch
    until you reach the full forward limit of the seat back. The seat should
    reset to the new forward limit. Perform the similar operation to reach
    the rear limit if necessary. An assistant pulling from the back seat
    will make the job easier.
