Explorer Electric Seat Fault

I have a 2012 Ford Explorer with a gasoline engine. The passenger electric seat is faulty. An error is stored, and adjustment isn't possible. Mileage is 97224 km. Could a discharged battery cause this?

I had a similar issue on my Explorer. Check the seat harness under the seat first. Sometimes the wiring gets loose or damaged.

Thanks. Was your error also related to a discharged battery, or was it purely a wiring issue?

In my case, it was the wiring. But if your battery is weak, it could definitely cause issues with electrical components like the seat motor. If the harness looks okay, it's best to have the battery checked and the error memory read at a workshop.

Thanks for the help. It turned out to be a defective battery as you suggested. Repair cost 290€.
