Default Another electrical issue!

Hi guys,

I've got a problem with the front seat ajustment : On the drivers side, the recline ajustment will go back but when I press the switch to bring it forward I get a clicking from the dashboard, then the fuse blows...
On the passenger side, the recline only clics when I try to ajust it forward, but doesn't move...

Any Ideas?

Thanks

If you are blowing fuses then you need to look for a short and that process may involve removing the seat to check all the wiring. If it is the control unit it is located under your seat, the normal check would be to swap the passenger seat control box with the drivers box but in your situation it may not provide you any satisfaction. I would look for the short first and see what you can find.

This is a link for repairing the seat module that might help
