Volkswagen Power Seat Switch - Genuine VW 1Z0959747

Product Information

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 VW

The Volkswagen Group, also known as “VAG”, consists of Volkswagen, Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche, Ducati, MAN, Scania, SEAT, and Skoda. The original parts used by VW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine VW” brand. Manufactured under the direction of VW, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are available exclusively through the VW Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your VW are not necessarily manufactured by VW. No cause for concern, as VW designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for VW 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 VW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a VW logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming directly 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.
