Non-working driver's seat after 9500ci install?
Hey I wanted to know if anyone has some advice on this.
I have a c63 amg coupe 2012. I recently had a passport 9500ci installed by a passport authorized installer (they are also a mid city engineering authorized installer) and they did a good clean job.
However, the second day the driver's power seat contols stopped working. Passenger still works as well as all other electrical. The problem is that right now the seat is set in my gf's position so I can't even drive the car lol!
The seat controls did work when we picked up the car, so I'm thinking it's a blown fuse caused by a short due to install?
Is the seat on its own fuse or are other components connected as well?
If anyone has done a 9500ci install, where is the most likely place where a short could have been created?
Obviously I'm gonna take it back to the place that installed it, but I can't get back there till next Friday b/c they're not open on weekends.
So any advice would be appreciated since I would like to fix the problem myself it's possible
Thanks!

Hmm I played around with the fuses (there are about 5 fuses for seat control and they are in the trunk) and none of them were blown. However, right after I did that I re-checked the seat and it started working again. I am thinking it may be possible they just didn't replace the fuse properly when they did the install. We'll see if the problem is solved, thanks for the advice!
