Temperamental seat control switchpack

[Redraptor141]

Afternoon all,


Annoyingly my front passenger seat position controller is on the fritz.

Part number: 61 31 8 099 073

Works in all modes other than forward and back.... some times. So all the switches do as they should, other than some times the forward and rear does not operate. The switch physically moves but the seat doesn’t. Read up that it’s a common fault with that switch pack on other BMWs and it’s the relays inside that are worn.

Anyone k ow if the module can be pulled apart and repaired? As I can’t get a new one it seems and I don’t want to get a second hand one that will be worn as well.

It’s a livable fault, just frustrating when you want to get the child seat in and the seat won’t move forwards without fiddling around for 5 minutes!

But equally I know it’ll choose to fully break when the seats all the way forward, up and lent back lol. So if I can sort it now that would be great!

Cheers, Billy
