Passenger seat electrics do not work

Post by Garry247 » Wed Aug 25, 2010 10:27 pm

Hope this is the right place to ask. My passenger seat electrics do not work they were like that when I got the car a few weeks back. Any ideas what it could be.  I tested the fuse and jiggled the wires under the seat but no dice. Any idea how I would fault test. 

Cheers

Not 100% sure but i think they'll be powered via a relay due to the current. Find the relay and give it a tap !!

Ordered a workshop repair manual from eBay and still finding it hard to find out where all the relays and fuses and connectors of the seat go. Would love a visual example manual. Anyone know where I can get one Haynes don't seem to make one.

Cheers.
