Will your leather seats not bolt to the fabric seat bases?

So it sounds as if either the control unit or all motors failed (unlikely) or you've wired it wrong ;)

Until you've got it going, can you put old cloth seat back in?

IIRC, you may need to connec tup 2 reds and 2 blacks

Take the seats out and apply 12v directly across each set of contacts in the plugs, this properly tests each motor just incase you simply have a bad connection. When I changed the seats in the last miggy I had a problem with one plug not quite seating properly .. looked OK but wasn't.

If you find a knackered motor, either change the whole base frame or swap the motors over old to new .. ??

Craig, give roadrunners in Saltney a bell, they often have meega stuff.

Dunno on price through  :-?  but with no delivery could be cost effective
