Power seat electrical supply question 2000 V70

Post by Dovetail »

Hey all
I have a 2000 V70 with manual seats. I am lucky and found a set of leather seats from the yard, and I quickly put them in. They look great, but the new drivers seat is power controlled, and when plugged in to my harness, does not work. I checked the power from the harness, and no current is coming in. Any ideas of how to get power to my harness so the seat can work? Where does the wire harness going to the seat originate? I checked the fuses, and none are blown. My back thanks any insight you may have, Take care,
William

The power seat feed is an auto reset circuit breaker in the main fuse box.
It's in location 39. That slot is only accessable if you pull the cover off of the fuse box.
IIRC, that cover has 4 torx screws.

The other important part is the black box mounted to the floor under the seat.
That's the controller/memory part of the power seat equation. Hope you snagged it!

Knowledgable in Fairbanks:
Thank you for the information. A 20 Amp circuit breaker type fuse placed in slot 39 brought current to the drivers side power seat harness. The seat works flawlessly. Stay warm up there,
William
