France 2007 Freelander 2 TD4 SE Manual Indus Silver
passenger side electric seat not working

greetings everyone.
I have a freelander 2 td4 2006. since buying the car the electric functions in the passenger seat have never worked. the heating works fine on the seat.
I have checked the 30amp fuse in the rear and thats fine.
I see there are two modules under the seat. The smaller one has volvo written on it and has fewer wires. The second has more wires and is nearer the door.
which one of these does the seat movement?
I think it would be the one with more wires near the door?
any advice please.
PS my code reader didn't come up with anything?

unplugged the larger box, but what I can see is simply a junction of the wiring loom from the car to the seat. As neither of the buttons on the seat work, either no signal is being sent? or both motors have failed? Or bad earth? Can anyone tell me what to look for. Or is there a module somewhere in the passenger footwell area that powers the seat?
Thanks for your help

I have read that fuse 20 under the bonnet can also blow and stop the seat from working. That seems to be a large 60 amp fuse? I assume other items would fail as well, as it feeds the rear fuse board?

Trusty multimeter out - Look for 12 volts at the switch pack first, then check ground at the passenger seat.

Good Luck!

I'm not sure that you are using the wiring info available on this forum, but the Repair Manual and Wiring is in this thread.

https://www.freel2.com/forum/topic10621.html

And here are where the Earth Points are



My advice would be look at what works and does not work, and then find/check the common Earthing Point, and then common power wiring and/or fuse.

My guess would a corroded or broken earth, or blown fuse. FL2 XS SD4 Auto 2010 2012-2017 (21k - 91k miles) (MY2011)
FL2 Metropolis SD4 Auto 2014 2017- (16k - 82k+ miles) (MY2015)
Metro in its 11th Year of (Extended) LR Warranty / Full LR Service History
(Expensive, but Trouble/Worry free - hopefully?)

i bet if this thread was seen by everyone, no one would have guessed the problem with my seat. The relay in the seat hidden behind the main juction was missing?? I wonder why? anyway I had a known good relay from another seat, plugged it in and the seat goes backwards forwards and reclines. Job done. I wonder why it was removed. I have started the car and everything seems to be working.
Any ideas maybe the old relay was causing a battery drain?
