Volvo 760 electric seat

[cp1790]

I’m having trouble with the electric controls on my drivers seat forward and backwards works fine but the back bit of seat does nothing and the base will only go down,am I right in thinkng it could be the solders on the back of the circuit board or can anyone give me any other tips ?

Could be poor solder joints, worth a look but more likely the switches are suffering lack of exercise and are dirty. Get yourself some switch/contact cleaner preferably one with lube in it, squirt in round the edges the switches and let it soak for a few minutes. Then exerceise each switch fairly vigorously, give it a few minutes and then switch the ignition on and try them again.
