E60Japanese

The drivers seat electric adjuster in my 2004 E60 doesn’t always operate

For the last couple of weeks I get into it in the morning and press the preset button for myself after my wife has been driving and nothing happens

I drive down the road for a minute or so and push the button again and everything works fine again

I don’t know if anyone has had the same problem? And how did they fixed it?
A new/used electric seat control or were you able to repair it?

Thanks and I look forward to anyones advice
(And yes I know! Just don’t let my wife drive) lololololol

Having the same issue if anyone can tell us that would be great

i recon it is either a bad connection or there is a broken wire in the loom similar to the rear boot lid loom after years of use

If noone has an answer I will pull mine to bits this weekend and let you know what I find

Ditto here, its amazing how many things break down on these cars after a few years.

Any update??I brought it to my local indy shop and they said my module wasn't communicating. the options they gave me were 1) they could put it on a machine to test the module 2) reprogram the module or 3) replace the entire module.

My passenger seat wasn't working...was told I needed new module but it isn't plug n play and requires programming. Apparently NO ONE has had to program to activate a seat module before as I also get no response on forum(s)...

L
I removed the seat control module while the seat was not responding
at that point in time it had no power to the module when i tested it

suddenly it had power and everything started working

Since then it hasnt stopped again for me to test

As yet I havn't found the cause as to why the power stopped but I suspect it is a broken wire in the loom somewhere

This weekend I will bypast the old power wire with a new wire to see if it fixes the problem

I will take some pictures and post to show what I have done

i am glad you took the plunge and bought that E60, so now you can help all of us out with the repairs as you seem to be hands on type of guy.
