Confirmed
When it stops, all functions stop. Almost like a circuit breaker is tripping. The next time I get in the car and move the seat it works for a few seconds then stops.Any chance this is a common problem? Do you think the control box is bad?

I just got my '01 s80 and so far I like it. I have heard the transmissions are not great so before I invest alot of time and effort into the car I would like to know what to expect from the transmission. The car is not a AWD. Any info or help would be greatly appreciated.

Does every function fail to work or just fore-aft or?

When it happens it seems thet all functions stop working. It also seems to affect the passenger seat as well. I have a check engine light on and am waiting for my scanner to see why so I'm not using the car now. I'll check it out again later ...

I'm having a problem with the drivers seat in my '01 S80. It does not work all the time. Before I start digging for the cause I thought I would ask if this is a common problem or if I'm just lucky.Any ideas as to the best approach to this issue?
Thanks

Thanks for your help Jimmy57
I went home and locked and unlocked the car using the key and the problem cleared.

Thanks
I did'nt get a remote with the car. Is there any other way of clearing this condition

I just picked this car up and replaced the ETM to get it running correctly. I disconnected the battery before I started and when I reconnected the battery the test drive went well. The car runs great, but when I tried to adjust the seat and close the sunroof they would no work. I checked all fuses ...
