Default Seat memory - missing potentiometer

Hi

I finally took the time to look into the seat memory malfunction, assuming it would be the common problem with the potentiometer.

After removing the back cover, I realized the issue is simpler : there is no such element.

I'm guessing that at some point, either the seat was replaced or the door itself.

Anyhow, I suppose that to restore the functionality, all I require is mounting this potentiometer. Part number is JLM21119 if I'm correct.

Can't seem to find it on sale anywhere however, except at a crazy $250.

Any hints?

Cheers

Here's another # to try.. JZM100007 ...but its also a discontinued item. It also comes up as a nut spring depending on the site.

Sounds like your going to have to go recycle yard hunting if you don't want to pay $250? But compare it to how many Euros it is on this German site.... https://www.teile-profis.de/page_1_3.php#oeformo ...$250 is a steal.

And it's a used one (Jagbits). There are two seat bases with motors and potentiometers on Ebay UK - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/JAGUAR-XJ...1&isGTR=1#shId and https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/JAGUAR-XJ...MAAOSwIh5eFMhP at GBP 70. each. You can contact the seller and ask whether, if you buy the whole base, he would be willing to remove the three motors, two gearboxes and the potentiometer and send you only those in which case the shipping should be much lower than sending the whole frame. You can keep the motors and gearboxes for spare.(or sell them on Ebay).
