Replaced Seat Modules But Seat Won't Move

Hey everyone,

I'm new to the forums. My seat modules were draining power from my battery so I disconnected them until I could find replacements. I found new seat modules and installed them on both the drivers side and passengers side.

The drivers side is back to normal but the passengers side won't move. I checked the fuses and they were ok. When power is fed to the passenger seat the seat is able to move, so something must be blocking the power from the fuse to the seat. Any idea why this is happening? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

you sure you have the connector plugs in the right place? Try the passenger seat control module on the dirver side or vise versa before you start taking the car further apart. The control modules should be the same no?

When you say that you used new replacement seat modules, where did you get them and are they a direct W203 replacement?
I thought even replacement W203 modules were acting up and the way to go was an updated W211 module?
