Electric seat problems

[lockdown 0]

Couldn't find any info with a search.

 

The electric adjustment on my recaros has stopped working? Was working fine before the engine work.

 

Where should I be checking first? Which fuses are for the seats?

 

Thanks

If yours was built in 1993 then:

1. If both seats have stopped working, then check Fuse 14,

2, check plug C, pin 2 and plug D pin 5. Both should provide their feed to the rheostat on the dash.

 

If it was built later, in 1994/5, then the fuse will vary, but the plug/pins didnt change, trace those

Yer both have stopped working. Mines 1992, still the same fuses?

Try that first. Failing that, look at the top of the fusebox carrier, you may find some clipped on extensions with fuses. If you have trouble tracing it, remove the instrument cluster cover,grab the rheostat switch, identify the wires, and trace them back to the fusebox.

 

It is quite possible that the reason why the fuses have blown is that the wiring under the carpet has cooked. So even if you do find the fuse prepare for the liklihood of having to trace the heavy duty heater wiring to the seats and, if necessary, replace some of it with fresh 2.5 mm twisted thick copper wire, shielded sections.
