Communicated with iCarsoft Sales, in the end they said my 2.0 can't do it. So I guess Foxwell purchase

 

I now got my new Foxwell NT809. And I've solved the issue, 50%. I need help with the last 50%.

The driver's seat, as soon as I discovered the problem that I had once before (back then solved by visiting dealer) I wisely kept my fingers off the seat buttons, I knew from experience that being able to take the seat back back but not forward would soon make the car undriveable. And using the NT809 on that seat to reset calibrations worked first time, now I can use all seat functions

However, the passenger seat, I experimented. And at one time I released the seat back lock, and must have gotten the seat back motor so much back, that I can't get it to lock again. Mine is a convertible, I guess in coupe the seat back can go all the way down, maybe seats are the same, so maybe if I had a coupe I could get the seat back to lock in place again. But on my convertible I can't. So I guess(!) that the computer when testing the seat back get no proper response. And that's why the test fails (as the NT809 tells me). If I'm right, I only see one solution, I have to manually with 12V(?) get the motor to act so I can get the seat back locked in place. Or? Any better ideas?

 

I have previously shared my solution.Out of interest, how much money and time have you spent thus far?

 

I spent for the Foxwell, and my own time between trimming my E-Type

Guy, what was your solution? I see you deleted your post?

 

I tried to move my seatback with a battry dirctly to the motor under the seat to get it back into the range where I can bolt it back on. I found in wiring diagram that it's run on Blue and Green/Blue, and that +/- would move it one way and -/+ the other way. But the motor doesn't move?

My Foxwell shows me two faults, the expected on seat back motor, but also Seat Head Restraint Motor, we don't have motors on head restraints, right?

??

 

Anybody?

 

Sounds like the motor is shot - could be open circuit - if you have a multi-meter you can check the continuity.

 

@No Quarter , sorry about that. Its in another thread. Simply I frequent a specific Inde that maintains all the legacy software… Outsourcing.

 

I also tried powering up the motor to get the seat back to move, but it would not activate at all. My end solution to all of this on my drivers seat was to replace the seat control unit with a used item from E Bay here in the UK. I chose a unit from a 2011 xf jag it cost about £20. It has given me a seat I can move even after disconnecting the battery. I have not bothered with the passenger seat one as my Icarsoft v3 moved the passenger seat fine but not so well with the drivers seat.
