    Can't seem to get my power seats to work

    Hey guys I need some help with my seats. I've been trying to install my power seats in my e36 m3. My connections are all there, but when I connect everything it doesn't seem to work. I've tried them on a friends e36 and they work fine. I located where the fuse goes and it's empty. I'm guessing the previous removed it when he had some aftermarket seats in there. It doesn't have a slot for the fuse that goes there, do you guys think they maybe another place in the car where I could find out why they don't function in my car?

    Your car is prewired, but not fully set up for power seats. You'll need to add all those fuse connections and make sure all wiring is correct if you want it to work. But yes.. doesn't belong in this subforum.
