406 massage seat failure

Hi, I've got a 2001 Peugeot 406 diesel and the massage function on the driver's seat has stopped working. It was working fine last week, but now the switch does nothing. The error memory also stores an error related to it. Any ideas? Mileage is at 78687 km.

The massage function on a 2001 Peugeot 406 driver's seat stopped working, with an error stored in the memory. A potential cause could be a break in the circuit, such as a faulty cable or loose connector under the seat. Checking the wiring and plug connection is suggested, but if unsure, consulting a professional is recommended.

I had a similar issue with the massage seat in my Peugeot 406. From what you're describing, it sounds like a break in the circuit, like a dodgy cable or connector. Have you checked the wiring and plug connection under the seat? These things can come loose over time, or a wire might have snapped.

Thanks! I'm not really sure how to check the cables properly. Is it easy to get to them? Do I need any special tools?

Accessing the wiring isn't too difficult, but it can be a bit fiddly. Disconnecting the battery is always a good idea before fiddling with any electrical connectors. If you're not confident with automotive electrics, it might be best to get a workshop to take a look. I spent hours on mine before finding a broken wire. Ended up being simpler to have a professional sort it. You could try locating a wiring diagram, but even then, tracing the wires can be like finding a needle in a haystack.

Thanks, I appreciate the advice. I think I'll take it to a workshop. They quoted me around 95€ to diagnose and repair the cable or plug. Sounds like a fair price to save myself the headache.
