Passenger front seat - electrics not working

[twr7cx]

Yesterday when I attempted to move the passenger front seat I found that the electrics aren't working. I last moved it on Thursday last week and it worked perfectly. The drivers side still works.

Anyone know the location of the fuse or any other ideas from anyone who has experienced similar?

I remember seeing fuses under the front of the drivers & passengers seats the other day when I was vacuuming the carpets...
I assumed they would be for the seats...

Yes, sounds like the fuse. Under each seat I seem to remember.


That's the first place to check.

Yep check fuses first, then the connector (should be under the seat). If its still not working, hit the switch with some contact cleaner, I periodically had to do that on my old range rover.

Stuck my head under the seat and there's the fuses on the front. Checked the 40A fuse and it had blown. Luckily I had a replacement in my workshop. Seat works perfectly again now. No idea why the fuse blew.

Finally got a chance to find the cause of the fuse blowing:





The wiring loom that goes to the recline motor has chafed through the sheeth and was earthing on the seat frame. A bit of electrical tape around it and something soft to protect it in the future and all sorted!

Leather interior seats are just leather fronts the rest of the seats are just vinyl it seems (mines the same)
