Default Am I missing something
I have 2 empty relay spots under my drivers seat. I haven't a clue what they are for. I do know my drivers seat wont adjust the front of my seat up nor down. Could this be why???


Missing relays for....?

Seat heat I believe for both front seats. If tilt isn't working it's usually the switch, hit that with WD40.

The seat switches can be taken out and cleaned relatively easily if you're careful keeping the parts contained.

Very carefully indeed. There are a bunch of tiny springs and ball bearings in there.

Use a thin smear of dielectric grease on contacts when re-building.

Oh goodness... Thanks for the heads up. Will proceed with caution.

Disassembling in clear plastic bag helps retain the small parts.

It's not the quantity of parts, it's the size with large fingers.

There's a write up on here somewhere on rebuilding these. I used a little 2000 grit sandpaper to polish up the contacts and then just a tiny bit of dielectric grease.

I did the repair a few months ago but didn't do a write up on it.
My buddy Eric did the write up on it. https://landroverforums.com/forum/di...witches-62504/


I know, us IL guys all look the same.
