NO LONGER ACTIVE
Maybe the seat controller fuse has blown - it's #9 on the left fuse panel under the hood.

Thanks Rodney

Have taken a look and F9 is fine, it is literally everything on the left hand side of the car that has stopped working, front and rear window, seat heating, movement etc....all on the RHS works fine......all was fine until I had to disconnect the rear battery???

I would measure voltage supply to the fuse. If you have 12 volts to it and the other fuses in that box with the key on, then the attached Signal Acquisition Module (SAM) is suspect. Otherwise the 200-amp prefuse which sources power to that fusebox and SAM are suspect. The prefuse is located in the passenger-side footwell of a LHD car.
