Default 2003 xtype power seats

Had this issue before. Replaced the green 30 fuse that was popped-good to go....this time no good....every time I put in a new fuse, it pops...and that was only for the passenger seat. Now my seat is dead!! Any help? The way the passenger seat used to go out before was when my son got in and played with the seat controls....but last time a friend got in the seat and I heard a loud pop! I mean we felt it...since then, the seat was dead...now today I tried to change the fuse and it keeps popping and my seat is dead too!
Besides the radiator leak, and everything else, this one really needs my attention!.....any help? Thanks guys...

Sounds like the frequent use the seat has had has rubbed the under seat wiring loom against the seat frame and caused a short between a live power supply wire and ground. Check out under the seat for the damage and maybe burn marks as a sign of the 'pop'!

with no power to the seats I could be hard to remove the seat. If you can get under it and wiggle the wires on both sides. Then try and replace the fuse... Other option is to use a jumper only to move the seat to remove. There is def a wire issue going on here. We don't need the seat turning into a fire hazard. Let us know what you find.


Good Luck,
The Dr!
