Electric Driver's seat
 
So ...
The passenger seat is fine, but the drivers side one has stopped responding to any movement and the memory buttons.

I have reseated and wd40'd the connectors, checked the fuses, tested the power in the requisite cables under the seat.

One strange thing is that very rarely any of the seat functions start to work, but only for a second and then stop. It seems to be when there is a load on it as I took off the back/forward motor drive pins and about half an hour later, the motor started to work. As soon as I tried the up/down, one second later it stopped again :(

Seat module I’m afraid, unplug the seat module connectors spray with some electrical spray and then replug them in, it will work briefly then stop.
And I’m out of modules at the moment

Try disconnecting the seat for15 mins and re connecting to re boot the ECU.
WD40 is not the best thing for electrical connectors, unless it is this.

Get some contact cleaner, such as above, or Super 10, DP-60 etc.
