    Driver seat unresponsive

    So, I've been chasing a non working seat issue for a while. With my foxwell tool I got the seat to move by testing the seat adjustments and found the farward/backwards seat motor to be bad. The module did throw code for that. I changed the motor today, confirmed that it worked with the seat adjustment test with the tool and it works.
    But.. the seat is still completely unresponsive to the switches. The system says no faults. The memory light does light up, as soon as I press any button the light goes out.
    It's an 05 or 06 525xi, non lci, 6speed. Every other feature of the car works as far as I know.
    Nobody would recertify these machines after somebody screwed with them without any visibility into what they did.

    HONK! HONK! Clown car coming through!
