Driver's Seat Stuck!
Evening all,
In Aldi's car park tonight I settled back into the Rover, thought to myself "what a fine place to dine", removed my cous cous from my bag and went to adjust the (electric) seat to get a better position. Well to start with I inadvertently moved the seat forwards. I then went to move it back the way and found the switch doing nothing for me. The switch is able to move the seat up and down but not forwards/backwards. Realising I was stuck in what some might describe as a "granny" driving position, I did my best to look at the wires under the seat. I couldn't see any connections loose. I checked the fuses for both seats and both were fine as I suspected they would be as the diagram showed it is one fuse per seat for movement and I do have some movement. Luckily I am not the tallest man in the world so managed to drive home slightly uncomfortably. Has anyone come across his before? I don't have memory seats. Just the two switches. Thanks, Andrew |

Try disconnecting the battery for 10 mins, if that doesn't work it will probably be the switch pack that is faulty.

I'm surprised I've managed to diagnose this as I am scared and clueless with all things electrical but it was a dud fore and aft motor! I swapped the passenger (good) and driver's (bad) motors about. This confirmed electrics and switches working fine on both sides but one motor kaput.
Have stolen the passenger motor for now. Not sure if I'll tell the wife |
