Driver's seat

01 E39. Driver's seat and power tilt stopped working at the same time.
Passenger seat works fine. Both run on the same circuit, fuse 13 ok. Memory
mirrors which is also on the same circuit still work fine. module also seems
fine. If anyone has any ideas I could sure use some direction.

TIA.

It sounds like the gears inside the seat are broken.

There's no protection against things dropping between the seats and the arm
rest.
I happened that a small coin got stuck inside the mechanism of my Z3 seats.
Pretty difficult to extract it!

Use an angle mirror and be patient, very patient, looking carefully
everywhere underneath !

Had a problem with a Rover seat. A rag I kept for wiping the screen and or my
hands etc slipped under the seat and got tangled in the gears.

Ouch! Took ages to get it all out.

thanks to all who replied. It turned out to be a bad seat module.
