Active Seat problems

ums81 · 06-19-2014, 07:13 PM

Recently purchased a CPO'd 2011 X5. I noticed yesterday that the active seat stopped working. The LED above the button lights up for 15-20 seconds and then turns off. Ventillated seat function is working fine along with all the other power buttons. Any ideas what would cause this? I'm sure I won't care in a few weeks but as the car is new to me, I figured I would see if anyone on the forums ever had this happen.

Owner's manual says that active seats will stop working if the load is too much on the battery(??) but the LED above the button would stay lit in that case.

No point in trying to figure it out mate: it's a CPO, so take it to the dealer, enjoy your courtesy car and let them sort it out.
