Hello all, after some reading in the archives, I have a couple questions about a problem I am having with my drivers seat. The issue that I am having is that one day, I got in my 1994 Rover County and the driver's seat was not working. I noticed also that the power mirrors were not working, but I am not sure that they failed at the same time. I just wanted to confirm a couple of things from my reading...
1. Since the failure of the drivers seat was both sudden and complete and the power mirrors are not working, it is probably NOT the switch beside the seat. Therefore, I should not start with cleaning this switch.
2. Since both the power mirrors and the seat are not working, there IS a good chance that it could be the ECU that is under the drivers seat and this is probably where I should start.
Unfortunately, the seat is all the way back and tilted back pretty far, so the box is very difficult to get to. Can anyone offer advice on how the get the box out? Will I need to remove the seat?
Also, is this ECU still available as a new part? Or do I need to look for a used one that works.
TIA for any info - you guys on this site are great.
