E39 540i Electric Seat not responding

[Driftit 1945]

Hey people,

Yesterday I went to move my seat a little further back and found that the seat controls were not responding at all.

I tried the memory settings too. They still conrtol the mirrors etc but not the seat.

The passenger seat is still working fine.

I checked for fuses etc in the boot but of course there is nothing in there about the seats.

Any help is appreciated.

Have you checked the plug connections under the seat ??

Check the fuse inside the glovebox. I used to pull the fuse out and put it back in again, for front seat-steering wheel, whenever they stopped responding.

Didn't know there was some in the glovebox. Will check.

Will also check that everything is still plugged in. Haha.

Had planned to do it today but put some new springs in the car and found that it is not a simple job compared to a Jap car and ran out of time.

Hi drifit, glove box fuse holder fuse ten, 30amp it protects four circuits and s56, s21, s94, s55, I assume they are the seat switch's according to Bentley good look. The main control seat switch back, forward, up ,down have a bad habit of snapping off also.
