My car had a spontaneous short circuit all by her self last night. The power seat switch and elecrical connector are toast.
Also I tried to hotwire the seat, but it didn't move. It's now all the way back and tilted backwards.
The connector on the switch has power and ground but all other wires measure OL resistance to ground, so im guessing at this point that the power seat is also dead. Wires from the switch and under the seat look ok.
My electrical diagram is -84 but the car is -88. I have no clue if the system is different. Atleast the wire colors on the switch connector match.
I'm worried that the insurance check on monday is not able to determine the cost for repair and I will be at loss. Most likely they will push me into accepting the value of salvaged parts as compensation.
US cars are nowadays considered a special item here and there is very bad parts availability, other than basic service items and performance tuning parts.
So I'm kindly asking my fellow b-body lovers, is there a shop that has the seat assembly and switch available and will ship to europe?
I have used Rockauto for all my parts, but I cant find these items on their site. Maybe I'm just blind...
The car is -88 Caprice classic STW with 307 engine.
Sorry for all typos and grammar errors, I'm too tired right now to check everything and pretty much just shooting from hip.
