Scott,

I have fixed this on two different 750's

The problem is that the cable that runs from the motor to the gear has slipped. To remove the back of the seat, I think that you need to pull from the bottom.

Then you can remove the motor and adjust the cable.

The problem is that the drive shaft can move either to far into the motor or to far into the gear. When this happens, either the motor turns the drive shaft but it is not engaging the gear or the drive shaft has moved to far into the gear and is not turned by the motor.

Good luck

Paul
