Electrical seats stopped working.

beinet1 · 9th July 2018, 19:56

Hi all,

I am asking for a friend of mine which has recently aquired a nicely V6 saloon with electric seats (not memory). Both seats stopped working today while he was adjusting them and is now stuck in that position. He has checked the fuses under the glove compartment and they are fine. So what would be the next step to check?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe worth checking the multi plug underneath the seats for poor connection, especially if the car has had water leaks.

The heated seats on my Wedgewood 75 failed and this was the cause, simply bad connection at the multi plug.

if not fuse 51 or 53 in the passenger box then try the 50A link in the engine bay or the earth connections

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback.

Does any ECU controls these seats? If so, which module and would there be any diagnostic equipment that can aid in fault finding?

Pull the big plugs underneath and check for 12v with the key in aux position

Only if they have the memory function will they have an ecu and then they should still work manually.

OK.

So with other words, its useless connecting diagnostic equipment for fault finding I understand?
