Range rover classic electric seat problem

[matt12023]

HI

bought a lovely range rover classic 2 days ago only problem is drivers electric seat adjust doesnt work. Is it worth me listing the symptoms on here? or can anyone recommend a good technical landy forum to ask on.

i've searched the net for several hours already and not come up with much to go on

Any help?

cheers for that link unfortunatly I do not think that is the answer because here are the symptoms:

-passenger seat operates as it should
-drivers seat responds to no button inputs
-when back/forward button is operated is moves the wing mirror glass
-when the switches are operated the relays under the seats can be heard to click

Hmmm - I'm not a Classic man, but my first thoughts would be to see if 12V appears at the relative motors (seeing if the motors are faulty) - but with you saying that one of the seat switches moves the mirror glass, then it may be a little more tricky than that!

There is an active forum on the RangeRovers.net site, specifically for Classics

Might be worth searching through there, or asking a new question?

ETA: Ten seconds of searching that forum turned this up:

Depending on how competent you are with electrics and a multimeter, it would be worth getting the RAVE manual for the Classic

The seat and mirror positions can be set in a memory and are controlled by the same ECU . There may be a fault or just a bad earth on that (under one of the seats)

This is quite a well known problem on classics that have been laid up for a while, probably caused by condenstaion.
