(I believe when I fixed mine, I put the box back on the same side (seem to recall the right side) socket as the one on the passenger seat was in, and that guess was wrong. But at least you can see where the two sockets are located.) If you can get a look at it on the other seat, or on another 900, you might then be able to reinstall it by feel. My wife actually got the thing in there (both times) with her smaller arm and hand. She installed it from the front. If you end up removing the seat to fix, I'm curious how difficult that is....good luck rob
