seat motor

Post by tmoretta »

The seat back adjustment on my '88 M6 does not operate. When I push the console button I can hear a click but nothing happens.

Power seat schematic starts on page 5200-0.
Troubleshooting for seats starts on page 5200 A-0.
I think the relay click is the sound you hear
under the drivers seat.

Is the relay itself under the seat? Could it be the motor is jammed?

I would use a stethoscope on the relay box and motor to determine where the click
is coming from.

The best way would be to to check if juice is getting to the motor with
a multi-meter.
