Driver's seat electrics stopped working??

Simo_UK · 12-30-2016, 04:25 AM

Hi All

Typical, my F10 has just gone out of warranty and now has an issue!

The driver seat adjustments (up/down, tilt and recline) have ALL stopped working. Seat heating works OK.

Passenger seat all works fine.

Seems odd that all 3 (?) motors have stopped and to me would infer a loom/plug or fuse issue.

Has anyone experienced this as BMW want £100 just to look at it :S

Cheers

First step, have a look under the seat. The connector may have become loose

fuses as well. not sure where they are , but also worth a check.

Fixed - thanks all.

As suspected a blown fuse. BMW wouldn't tell me which one (but would charge me £100 to diagnose), so it was a case of trial and error.

For reference, fuses 52 and 53 in the glove compartment fuse box control the power to the seat motors. A total PITA to get to, needing the bottom cover to be dropped.

All good - thanks for the replies.
