Hello New Problem w/ 1997 900 SE Turbo Convertible. Last night my
wife tells me that the passenger seat adjusting doesn't work -
electric seats - all of a sudden stopped. Yup, I check the
fuses...but they are fine. So I get on the garage floor (first time
I've had a car in the garage ever!) and start poking around.
Eventually with a flashlight, I see a thing loose on the floor of the
car under the seat, in between what looks like servo motors. I reach
for it, it's loose and I grab it. It's a bosch relay of some sort,
about 1/2" cube. I find part # on it, google search and it comes up
as a bosch relay. I search under the seat, which is tough because
there is NO room under there. I look for a similar deal under the
driver seat and don't see it there. Help!.

Matt,
It looks like the relay should plug into a socket somewhere near the
front edge of the seat bottom, up underneath. You may need to get a
mirror to see up there. The orientation should be horizontal, with
the relay pins toward the front of the car.
Good luck,

Very nice, with your help only took me about a half hour to find the
socket...although it was exactly where you said it would be. Turns
out, there are two sockets for a relay. The first one I plugged it
into did not work. So I pulled it and plugged it into the second
socket and that made the seat work. Any idea what the second socket
would be for?
Thanks a ton (metric ton if your over there) Saved me couple hundred
$ plus time.

Matt,
Sorry, I don't know what the other socket is for. But luckily, it's
not very important anymore, right?
Glad to be of some help

I am in the US, but we still prefer to save a metric ton!

I think that the second socket is for seat memory
