In the fuse box under the hood also check the fuse MBEC1 in the top row.

Without the FIND funtion operating, I can't pull up the post. I though it was a bad module under the seat. Wasn't there a TSB on the 03's a while back? I thought so. Anyhow, say hello to Bergstrom's off-road track for me when you take her in... if you do.

The problem is that it is happening on both front seats, 2 separate seat modules (I think). So my though was that it would be upstream from there. I'll look again.
