Seat Cordoba massage seat not working

My Seat Cordoba, build year 2000 with a Gasoline engine, has a massage seat that stopped working. The switch won't activate, and there's an error message. Could this be a simple electrical issue, like a defective cable or plug connection? The repair cost is estimated at 95€.

An inoperative massage seat function, especially in a vehicle with this feature, can certainly detract from the driving experience. The error memory indication strongly suggests an electrical issue. Before replacing the entire seat or control module, have you inspected the wiring harness and connectors under the seat? Disconnecting and reconnecting them might resolve a simple contact issue. Does the seat adjustment still work properly?

I have not checked the wiring harness and connectors under the seat yet. Where exactly are these located, and what should I look for? The normal seat adjustments still work fine. Could that mean the motor itself is OK?

Given that the seat adjustments are functional, the motor itself is likely not the primary cause, although it cannot be entirely ruled out without further diagnostics. The wiring harness and connectors are typically located underneath the seat, connecting the seat's electrical components to the car's main wiring. Look for any signs of damage to the wires themselves – fraying, cuts, or exposed conductors. Examine the connectors for corrosion or loose pins. Proceed with caution, as improper handling of automotive seats, particularly those with electrical components, can trigger the airbag system. Considering your description and the potential complexity, I would advise having the vehicle inspected by a qualified technician. They possess the tools and expertise to diagnose the issue accurately and perform the necessary repairs safely.

I took your advice and had the car checked at the workshop. The mechanic confirmed a defective cable. The repair cost 95€. Now the massage function works again.
