Croma massage seat failure
Summary of the thread
The massage function on a 2008 Fiat Croma driver's seat is not working, and an error code is stored, suggesting a potential cable or plug issue. A similar issue in another vehicle was resolved by checking the fuse controlling the seat functions, as a blown fuse can disable specific features like the massage function. If the fuse is blown, replacing it might solve the problem, but if it blows again, it could indicate a short circuit, requiring professional repair.

Thanks for the quick response. I didn't think about the fuse. Could you give me more info on where to find the right fuse and how to check it?

In my BMW, the fuse box diagram was located in the glove compartment, and another one was in the trunk. The diagram should identify the fuse specifically for the seat massage function. If it's blown, replace it with one of the same amperage. However, if the new fuse blows immediately, it suggests a short circuit, and I would recommend getting professional assistance from a qualified workshop. I ended up having to take mine in and they found a pinched wire.

Thanks for the advice. I'll check the fuses as you suggested. If that doesn't fix it, I'll book it into a workshop. They reckon diagnostic and repair will be around 95€.

Interesting problem. I had a similar issue with the massage seats in my old BMW 7 series. The symptoms sound very familiar. Did you check the fuse that controls the seat functions? Sometimes, a simple blown fuse can disable specific features like the massage function while leaving other seat adjustments operational.
