Question S4 B7 Cab - seat won't recline

  1. Hi can anyone help with this one..... the electric recline on my drivers seat doesn't work. I've prised the back of the seat (used a putty knife and table knife, one on each side of the three clips at the top and managed to get these out without breaking them - I did them one at a time). Having got access to it, I've tested the recline motor by connecting it directly to the car battery and it moves in both directions without any problem. So I know it's mechanically all good. So the issue is the electrics. Where do I start? Is there a fuse that just controls the recline of the seat (I don't believe so)? Would it be the switch module on the side of the seat? Or there is what looks like a control box under the seat (part # 8H0 959 760 A) - could this be the issue? I've looked inside the control module and its got lots of electrical components - difficult to see but there are no apparent components burnt out or shorts on the PCB. Or could it be something else that I've not though of? Any guidance would be really appreciated - thanks

Not very strong on electronics but I bet there is a fuse somewhere. Need to check if you have power to the switch. If no power to the switch it could be a fuse. My first guess would be the switch is bad though.
