Title: Electric Problems Seat/Windows/Blower
Post by bryn on Feb 24^th, 2009, 12:19pm

Afternoon all,
After reinstalling my new radio I have lost all power to the heated seats, heater blower electric seats, mirrors and sunroof.

I have checked all the fuses and non were blown.

Could one of the relays have gone up the chuff???

The radio now has no power or display ( This was working 30 mins before I put it back in)

Does any one have any ideas???

Many thanks

Bryn

Fuse 36 the power saver may have blown.

Cheers Fella's

I have once again checked all fuses this morning, aux box and main box.
However I still have no heater, leccy windows, mirrors or seats.

Are there any other fuse boxes inside the car that may hold the hidden key??

I tried removing the fuses from each of the inopperable options and tested but this didnt give any further light. :'(

are you sure with fuse 8. I also thought that I tested all of that, but finally problem was on my side, I (maybe) forgot to give new fuse on position 8.

it's also mentioned somewhere in history on forum.

I can’t see any obvious connection between them, some need the ignition on some don’t, different fuses. You may have other things not working that may give us a clue.

Possibilities that spring to mind:
One of the big fuses in the Aux fusebox 60/80 amp
One of the small fuses like 16 17
Maybe a common earth?
Check the heated seat relay to see if it’s the feed to the relay or the feed to the seat that’s out.

A bit of good news,

After dissconecting/reconnecting the battery and wiggling the heater blower relay behind the glove box, I now have electric seat movement only when the ignition is switched off ( its a start like).

I did a search on here regarding this problem and found that Hopper had a similar problem and related to 5 wires for the sunroof. I have attached the link to his thread below.

Would any body know where these wires could lie as hopefully this may rectify my problem.

Thanks again

Bryn

Cheers Snoopy,

That was the culprit,

2 chaffed wires and it causes chaos.

Not Sure how this happened but it all works fine now.

Many thanks

use OBD-2 scanner (the VE works) and read the enhanced codes from CCM module (works for me, with TriCom lead)
it does monitor almost everything, I have used it for solving my deck/lid problems and right mirror motor problem (no big deal though),
it can do even more (it has codes for central/double locking errors etc.).

you should see all related codes to your case and then be sure about the problem.
