Hi all

I was adjusting my passenger seat forward when at the end of it's travel, my radio went off, with a warning on the message centre telling me that fuses had blown. Anyway, checked the fuses and all seemed OK, no sign of blowing. Any ideas guy's.

Lost on that one. Normally, on a p38, moving the seat about stops the SRS working due to bad wiring positions and bad and cheep connectors. So you may have a wire pulling problem when the seat moves, have you an aftermarket radio? Move the seat forward and look underneath and see if any wires are tight?

You don't say what car you have P38 Ls322 or other and year would help. Didn't meet Scarlett Johansson in Glasgow recently did you and for some reason the seat moved??

I am also thinking that it's a dodgy wire. The battery was stone flat this morning, so something is draining the battery. Will have a closer look over the weekend
Cheers

It's a 1998 P38a DSE. No airbag SRS light showing Anyway, checked all the wiring today and everything seems OK as are the fuses. Checked them with the multimeter and got resistance readings. Totally stumped

You tried checking with the seat in another position/moving?

Will need to see if I can move the seat backwards manually. Now thinking about the BeCm ?? and also the adjuster switches/buttons that I have not checked yet
