Disabling Electric Seat controls
« on: 01 March 2016, 14:55 »
Bit of a strange one this but does anyone know if you can deactivate the electric seat controls with vcfs or which fuse to pull?? Sick and tired of going into garages to find my seat moved up,down and back.

How's the poor long legged mechanic going to get comfy when blitzing it up the road to collect lunch?

You don't get memory seats in the uk. Could it be as easy as disconnecting the plug under the chair?

It's on my tiguan Andrew. I don't want to take it in until I can figure out how to stop the chair controls working.

And tested it by putting it all the way back and lying down... look, you can see...

I need to weld mine shut, no fuse to take out for the manual adjustment. Buggers move it every time ;)
