Hi all,

Recently bought a 05 vz Calais

First issue I'm having is that both power mirrors intermittently work (no power to switch when not working). I have have checked fuses.

The second one being that the drivers power seat also intermittently works. The switches have constant power even when not working.
I have swapped with the passenger seat switch without success.
Seat fuse is also good. Also sometimes when the seat does work it may only be for a second or two before stopping.

Any ideas what to look for next?

Does your VZ Calais have electrically operated (Power Seats) front seats that include a position memory function? Do the power seats automatically move to a certain position when different keys are used. If so there is a "Exterior rear-view mirror module" and a "seat memory module" that work in conjunction with each other. My guess would be a failure of one of these modules or a earth wire that is damaged or not connected. How experienced are you with Automotive Electrics? I can send you the wiring diagrams if you want to try and repair the fault your self.

Yes it has the memory modules, though I haven't got any idea how they work.

I'm not the greatest but if you can send them through thanks.


I have also noticed that the seat seems works when the car is started but stutters and then completely stops after it has been turned off. While the passenger seat continues to work.

Hey mate, it's an old thread, these
people haven't logged on for about 5 years. You would be better off starting your own post in the appropriate section. Good luck.
