Default Electric seat problem

Hi can anyone give me some advice about electric seat problem on my 2004 crossfire. I bought the car and the seats were not working at all. I changed the relay for the seats and all worked fine for about 15mins, then the drivers side stop working. Passenger one working ok still. I still got to double check the fuses but wondered if this was a common fault. Many thanks jason

The fuse is probably the cause, in this case fuse #22 for the drivers seat.
Fuse #21 is the passenger seat.

Dave, I don't see it that way. Seems to me that fuse #1 tells the module that the ignition is on, fuse #24 supplies the voltage for BOTH seats :
( Am I looking at the wrong service manual ? )

That's the heated seat crct diagram. I believe the OP is talking about the power seat part of it

Well then, that explains it. Don't know why 'heated' popped into mind.
Carry on.

If the motor does run for a few seconds before the fuse blows, it is most likely the motor itself.
There's 2 ways to find out :
1. Replace the motor. ( swap it between the seats, lot's of work but you'll be able to clean up those 10 year old buggers that have been hiding under the seats. )
2. jump the fuse with a big *** wire and look for smoke : MOST DEFINITELY NOT RECOMMENDED !!!!
