Seat Switch/Motor Problem?
Hi from Down Under
I have a 2001 Z3 Roadster and the Driver's side seat switch when enabled to adjust the seat up and down does not operate and there is no whirring sound. I have seen entries in Google refrring to the seat motor jamming but the site couldn't be accessed . Is there such a thing and how is it rectified. I would apptreciate anyone's help on this one to give me an indication from their experince if I have a switch or seat motor problem and the rectification of the problem. Regards John, Perth, Western Australia, Australia

If the seat still moves front to back, you can remove it and get a better look at the mechanism. Then you can inspect for binding or broken wires.

I just did a car that the fore/aft motor wasn't working. I was able to remove it and get it working again.
To test the switch/motor for power, unplug the connector at the motor and read it with a DMM (voltmeter). http://www.rfdm.com/gallery/album180?page=3
