Does anyone have or know of where to get a power seat module for an '01 XK8 convertible. To good to be true, my car had no issues til now. Oh well, let the tinkering begin.

 

if you want used - try 707autoparts.com as they have a few XK8's they are salvaging, if new try our sponsor SNG Barratt's

 

Are you sure you need one?

Cracked tracks on the board are a regular issue with the Seat Modules. When you see the cost of a replacement, a little time spent with a soldering iron could start to look a very attractive alternative.

I'm worried I'll make it worse. Is there an obvious sign in the circuitry ?

 

The phrase 'make it worse' suggests it hasn't completely given up the ghost?

This is what it looks like under the lid:




Depending on what is wrong / what functions have been lost, the usual thing is to check all the tracks for break(s) and flow solder across to bridge them.

I recall someone in the US offering a rebuild service but can't remember the details. Someone with a better memory than me may have the details.

Thanks, I've lost the recline fore and aft function.

 

Like my father once said, "Try not to break more than you can fix"
