Symptoms & Diagnosis
Is your BMW's seat acting up? Here's how to tell if the seat control module might be the problem:
Seat Doesn't Move: The seat won't adjust forward, backward, up, or down.
Memory Seat Issues: The memory function doesn't work, or the seat won't return to the saved position.
Erratic Movement: The seat moves on its own or in unexpected ways.
No Response: Buttons or switches for the seat don't do anything.
How to test if it's the seat control module:
Check the fuses related to the seat. A blown fuse is a common and easy fix.
Inspect the wiring and connectors under the seat for damage or loose connections.
Use a diagnostic scanner to check for error codes related to the seat control module.
If possible, swap the seat control module with a known good one to see if the problem goes away.
Common reasons why these modules fail:
Water damage from spills or leaks.
Electrical surges or shorts in the system.
Normal wear and tear over time.
Corrosion on the connectors.
