Spider electric seat fault
Summary of the thread
The conversation revolves around a problem with the passenger electric seat in a 1998 Renault Spider, which is not adjusting and showing a fault in the error memory. A potential cause suggested is a heavily discharged or defective battery, especially since the car has been sitting for a while. Another possible cause could be loose connections or damaged wiring in the seat harness. It is recommended to inspect the wiring for any damage or loose connectors, and if unresolved, consider taking the car to a workshop for further diagnosis.

Thanks! I'll check the wiring. What exactly should I be looking for in the seat harness itself? And no, I haven't touched the battery recently, but it's been sitting a little while.

When inspecting the seat wiring, look for any obvious damage, crimped wires, or loose connectors. If you haven't touched the battery and the car has been sitting, a low voltage situation could still be the culprit, triggering a fault in the electric seat control module. Given the cost of diagnostic tools, it might be more efficient to take it to a workshop. The repair could amount to 290€.

Okay, thanks a lot for the advice! I'll check the wiring as best as I can, but it sounds like a trip to the shop is in order. I appreciate the help!

I had a similar issue with my Spider. Check the seat harness and wiring under the seat first. A loose connection there can trigger the error. Also, did you recently have the battery disconnected or worked on?
