Espace electric seat fault

Passenger electric seat fault on my 2002 Renault Espace diesel. Error in memory, seat won't adjust. Connections seem solid, and I've cleaned the switch contacts. Any ideas?

I had a similar problem with my Espace. For me, it was a heavily discharged battery causing electrical gremlins. These Espaces are sensitive to voltage. Have you checked your battery's health lately?

Interesting, I hadn't considered the battery. But wouldn't a low battery affect other systems too? Everything else seems to be working fine – lights, radio, etc.

Yes, it's weird, I agree. It's like a dodgy tap; sometimes it drips constantly, sometimes just now and then. In my case, it only affected the seat, but it was enough for an error to be thrown. To be sure, I'd suggest taking it to a workshop. A simple battery check will rule it out. I had to replace mine. Cost me around 290€ with installation.

Thanks for the advice! I checked the battery, and you were spot on – it was on its last legs. Replaced it, cleared the error, and the seat's working perfectly again. Really appreciate the help!
