1997 xk8 seat faulty
okay....I was driving, enjoying my un-eventful morning, when WOW! The left front backrest just started moving forward and back. At one point, it was fully forward. I also smelled some type of electrical burning smell. Now, it will not work at all. The forward/aft button works, as does the lumbar, but no backrest movement at all. Im thinking the seat switch took a dive. Any ideas???

That certainly made it more eventful!
If it hasn't blown already, pull 20 amp Fuse No 1 in the passenger side Fascia Fusebox for the passenger side seat module and 5 amp Fuse No 8 in the same box for the switch pack.
I'd remove the passenger seat to check seat module, switch pack and harness for physical damage and shorts.

Okay. I pulled the seat out ans checked all the wiring. No shorts oe wire chafing. I did notice the switches had a burned electrical order. After I replaced the aeat,the foward/aft button made the backrest go back! After that,it didnt do it again.Does anyone know how to remove the seat switches? Do I need to remove the seat cushion skin to get to them. They are also on the drivers seat.

Gently press with a flat bladed screwdriver to release it - easily broken.
