Hello,
Vehicle: 2001 Jaguar XJ8 VDP
The title says it all. This happened while I was driving- the seat started going berserk, (forward, backwards, up, down, flipping forward, etc.) coming to a rest in the fully-down, fully-back position. .
Whats working: Lumbar.
Whats not: everything else.
Ideas so far:
- module is damaged/ dirty (want to switch module but cannot reach rear hex bolts to remove the seat.)
Im trying to get some idea as to how to approach this... keep in mind I cannot move the seat up and forward to access the rear bolts.
Thank you in advance. And sorry I’m not going to the proper process of introducing myself. I need a solution here ASAP.

Anything electrical with these, the first thing I try is a hard reset (remove the negative cable from the battery connection, touch to the positive post for a bit to let things reset and discharge). I assume it's only the driver's seat? Can you get the seat in an upright position using the key-fob memory settings? Maybe see if you can reach the seat motor wiring and unplug that once the seat is stationary, as a temporary workaround.
