Seat/Mirror ECU - take care when unplugging!

Post by boombang »

Wanted to post this up as a warning to others to take care when messing with the Green ECU under the drivers seat.

I unplugged and reconnected the Seat and Mirror ECU from under the drivers seat earlier whilst sorting a few issues. Sat in the drivers seat and as soon as turned the ignition on the drivers seat went forward, up and tilted the backrest forward all at the same time. Thankfully I got out ok but it had a good go at crushing me. The seat didn't stop until it was in the furthest forward/highest position with back tilted right forward.

A BSI reset cleared it off and it's working as it should now, but do take care when working on the 406 electrics!
