C5 X7 seat controls not working

Unread post by OneRandomBX »

On a 2008 C5, suddenly stopped working.
None od the passenger seat controls work, and on the driver seat the upper back bolster doesn't move.
All the other driver seat controls work fine, as does the memory.
What could be the problem?

May I suggest disconnecting the battery (follow manufacturers instructions) and reconnect after 10 minutes

Yes I ask the stupid questions, because normally it is that simple.

Thanks for the suggestion, i tried it but no luck.
At least i found that the negative terminal was corroded so i cleaned it.

It may be a relay underneath the seat or a fuse G37 or G39 in the cabin fusebox from this bank of fuses (be careful there may be more than one fuse with the same marking - but it's from this bank you need to check):

The fuses are fine, is there a way to check the relays?
