    C70 electric seat motor change

    Hi all, the rear backrest won't move on my passenger seat, all other functions are fine. I have been given a donor seat (cheers Shepbomb) and plan to change the electric motor in the backrest. Will the seat ecu need to be recalibrated or will it just work when I refit the seat into the car???

    Try working on the switch first as that might be the part at fault so change the switches around

    yeah was thinking of doing that first. Swapped switches and no different so changed motors and no different. Eventually traced it to a bad connection on the plug to the seat ecu!!! Spent 4 hours in the rain mostly, doing musical chairs. End result is that I have a semi reclining passenger seat. It wont go all the way flat back but I got so wet i'd had enough. Anyone got any ideas why it only goes half way back???
    Could do with sorting it out before Trax on saturday as its our accomodation for the night lol

    it could be a cut of switch some where, only letting it go down so far and then stopping the motor
