Hi,
i'm new to this forum, but I have owned my Jaguar XK8 Cabriolet for 8 years.


I have fixed both mechanical and electrical things on my Jaguar, but now I have a problem with the driver seat that doesn't work. I have changed the switch, that burned, and removed the seat module. I have not managed to move the seat, in any direction. Tried with external power direct to the motors.
So, now I don't know what to do, it's tricky to remove the seat when you can't reach the rear bolt nuts

Any suggestions?

/Stefan

A very warm welcome Stefan. If you have replaced a burnt switch then check the fuses for the drivers seat. More worrying is why the switch burned out in the first place so check also that there is nothing restricting the movement of the seat.

By the way, nice looking car.

Welcome to the forum Stefan,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

I can see you've already found your way to the XK8/XKR forum so there's no need for a link to it from me.
The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular problems.

Please remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

You can also visit the Europe Region forum by following this link Europe - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum
to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham
