A power seat switch is an electrical switch that allows the driver or passenger to adjust the position of the power seats in a vehicle. It controls the movement of the seat forward, backward, up, down, and sometimes reclining or tilting. Common failure symptoms include the seat not moving at all, moving slowly, or stopping unexpectedly when the switch is held down.

• Seat doesn't move: The most obvious sign is when the seat fails to respond to any switch input.
• Slow or jerky movements: The seat may move very slowly, or the movement may be erratic and not smooth.
• Seat stops mid-adjustment: The seat may move initially but then stop moving, even while the switch is still being pressed.

About Genuine BMW

The original parts used by BMW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine BMW” brand. When ordering a Genuine BMW part you are guaranteed to get the same part that you would pick up from your local dealerships part department. Genuine BMW parts have been built to BMW’s stringent standards and are the same quality of the original parts used to build your Ultimate Driving Machine.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your BMW are not necessarily manufactured by BMW. No cause for concern, as BMW designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for BMW for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine BMW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a BMW logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
