No:
- OB2








OB2: Switching connections on motor 3
- Ignition OFF.
- Remove seat from car.
- Disconnect black 14-pin connector C.

Switch over the leads:
- Press out pins in pos. 3 (yellow lead) and 4 (green lead) from connector C. Use terminal removal tool 951 2631.
- Switch the leads over and press the pins into the connector.

Then continue with:
- OB5





OB3: Checking wiring in potentiometer 3

If reading is OK:
- Fault corrected

If reading is incorrect:
