Drivers seat

seat/mirror woe.
I have the same problem. The reset procedure didnt work for me. I looked at the fuse for the seat-it was blown. I replaced it and worked fine but still blows so I guess its a short/ground at fault. The seat controller should be ok. I have left it alone for now but would be nice if it was fault free. Do you have problem with the side mirror not retracting on one side (drivers side on RHD car?) I wonder if the two are linked in any way. The mirror works fine but just doesnt retract although I can hear the motor working. It could be a cable detachment. Anyone know how to take off the mirror?

drivers seat woes
My seat did the same - in fact it refused to move at all. Also the mirrors wouldn't move. Turned out the seat controller had failed and it cost £900 to fix at Ferrari in Egham (replacement controller plus 4 hours of labour).
In answer to the question - yes the seat and mirrors are linked (controlled by the seat computer) so that the memory buttons memorise both seat and mirror positions together.

Hi there,
my seat and mirrors do move...and i can save the settings as well, plus recall them. However, i still can't get the seat to do it's automatic forwarding when i tilt it forward.
I've done the reset as mentioned by other forum members...but still no luck. Can't deduce exactly where it's failing....obviously all motors work, all buttons work and also memory functionality. All fuses seem to be intact as well.
I'll keep searching for the truth!!!

Try checking..
... the seat rails. May sound daft, but you could have a coin sat in the runner.
As an elimination process swap the seats over. It's a 10 min job and you just unplug the wiring harness underneath.
Mind you - being in Scotland I'd assume that all coins were accounted for

being in Scotland i would say it's unlikely that we would allow any coins to get that far away from us
Good idea though...I'll give it a go over the weekend
being in scotland perhaps the seat has FROZEN to the runners??

Yes it's quite an art-form trying to "jog" the memory on the seats.
Did the seat reset? i.e. did it move itself all the way forward and back twice? If not then make sure you have the key in the ignition (don't turn it though) and also that you attempt the reset sequence (fwd-stop-bkwd-stop x2, tilt seat) within 5 seconds of opening the door.
within 5 seconds of opening the door?
jeez...they really have to make sure you're on the ball for this don't they?
I'll give it a go again....
I must admit, i didn't know i was on a stopwatch to get this done!!!

I had both problems (the seat not moving when tilting and mirror)
The mirror was tracked down to the harness connector on the A-pillar
and the seat was tracked down to the seat railing provided too much resistance and the memory controller decided to stop as a precaution.

Resetting Driver Side Seat
I hate to resurrect this thread but can someone explain the seat reset procedure ? Forward-Stop, Backward-Stop twice then tilt seatback forward. Begin within 5 sec of opening the door and complete within 10 seconds ? If this is asking for me to move the seat ALL(?) the way forward and back twice within 10 seconds - it's impossible. If it just means press forward then back in sequence twice - that's possible but doesn't resolve my problem.

Hard Reset
I have had this issue since these cars came out and what works most of the time is to unplug the two white connectors underneath the middle of the drivers seat. Use a flashlight they are easy to find. I have used this hundreds of times and it normally get things going quickly. When in doubt unplug it for 30 seconds.

See here:

and it is the ignition on and fwd/bkwd twice that must complete in 5 secs
The drivers door also has a timeout action on seart movement so basically open door, ignition on, start the fwd/bkwd switching as soon as you can.
If the seat does not move backward/forward automatically after this then you have been too slow (or it aint working!)
