drivers seat electrical adjusters

[ParishBeadle]

Faultless for 9000 miles my superb elegance has decided to hiccup. For some reason the electric adjusters in the drivers seat have failed. I am unsure as to whether the heating is affected as in this weather the seats are permanently warm. Passenger side motors work perfectly. Still have almost 2 years of warranty remaining but i prefer to look at the more obvious things ie fuses before embarking on a 40 mile round trip to the dealers. Could anyone give me some pointers as to where i could start. The seat is perfectly adjusted for me but my partner, who loves driving the car is currently denied the opportunity...

Sounds like the best scenerio mate, LOL!!

Sorry but I can't help you on your problem, don't have elevtric seats on mine but I would have suggested you check that the wiring hasn't come loose under the seat? Must be a harness connection somewhere from the vehicle harness to the wiring loom of the seat? Water leak in the footwell maybe?

I have an identical problem. From a date last year the mechanism is protected by a self resetting thermal trip, and as the passenger seat still operates you can rule this out. Spoke to dealer, they have had problem before and was resolved by replacing a circuit board. Car goes in on Thursday.

For ParishBeadle. Update on car seat failure. Dealer said problem was caused by a connector under the seat coming loose. I had felt under there before contacting them but couldnt find anything loose. It may be worth using a torch and a mirror to get a better look.

Thankyou, it was indeed a loose connector. Many thanks for your help
