Hi, just a quick update, so I took my car to a volvo mechanic and he basically reset the computer and the power seat started working. His analysis was that the battery in my car was 800ccc (replaced by AAA) instead of the recommended 520ccc for the s60 by volvo. HIs judgement was that the voltgae spikes were what were causing issues with the car computer. Does it sound reasonable? Would there be no over voltgae protection ?
