power seats not working

Hi. I have a 2000 XJ8 and the front power seats aren't working.
The motor is working because of the memory on driver's side moves when I get in and out of car. Did anyone have any thoughts?

if the connectors are connected try unplugging the seat module and plugging it back in sometimes they get locked up.....only way to fix that problem though is to replace the module

Hi there. you can try swap passenger module and confirm. Driver side and passenger side have same module but drive sive have 3 connectors(memory seat) and passenger have 2 connectors, those have same part number.
Hope this help

I have the same problem.. the drivers side power seat does not work. Any thoughts on testing what the problem could be? The used dealer where I purchased the car thinks it may need a new module. where is this module located? and anywhere besides the dealer to purchase a new one?

I have good used seat modules in stock, and yes, you can remove the one from beneath the passenger's seat and test the circuit by plugging it in on the driver's side.

I don't think I ever met a Jaguar mechanic who was trying to steal bread off the table of a Kraut can mechanic.

power seat not working

first, make sure you check power seat fuse first, i remember power seat fuse right at below/front of rear seat cursion, u have remove panel at rear seat.
you can purchase any where at used park, but make sure you have check that module habe same part number. you can check part number inside drive side trunk, remove spare tire and you can see.

I have the same issue and need a replacement module. If someone can give me a link or a PM on the cheapest/best place to get one from. Mine is for an 03 XJ8. Additionally, unless it sticks when there is no power/module bad the switch on the side of the seat (driver's seat) is stuck in the position to slide the seat backwards. I may need new controls also if someone knows where to get them.

Thanks,
Mark

I am having the same issues with the passenger seat. The switch clicks when pressed, but nothing happens. The fuses are ok. Does anyone know where to get new switches and how to replace them?

Dick, what year/model? Assuming it's similar to mine, if when pressing the switch you hear a click from somewhere away from the switch, it is not the switch. It will be the motor, the Seat Control Module, or the wiring in between them. I believe you can swap Seat Contol Modules from left to right to determine which.

And as driver, I believe it is your prerogative to KEEP the working module on your side!

I won't try to answer because our cars may be different.
On my '98 YM, the cover for the fuse box in the trunk has the fuse layout diagrams for all 5 of the car's fuse boxes!
