Default Keep getting a blown fuse.

I keep getting a blown fuse for the lumbar/bolster power adjustments.

It's the 15watt fuse and I already replaced it twice.

Is there a way of checking if I have any codes or a way of finding out what might be causing this to happen? Everything else seems to work, just got this 15watt fuse that has blown??

Thanks for any help!!

Pauly

Is there by chance one of your lumbar switches stuck on. Check the switches. If they are fine, you will need to remove the seat and trace out all of the wires, plugs and connections for that circuit. Its most likely a pinched wire or a bad connector.

look for a burnt connection, loose wire ect ect.. What is the fuse # and what year car?

Thanks Bill.

It's the #3 fuse, and it's an 2004. Don't seem to have any of the switches stuck on. Most likely an pinched wire or a bad connector like you said. Don't really want to take out the seat. Well, next time I bring it into the dealer for a repair I'll have them check it ou.
