Seat controls 2007 TS Select. Some functions quit

[Stacy S]

On my 2007 TS Select 45’, some of the functions, on the passenger seat, have quit working (they were working perfectly).

The seat back will recline, the foot rest works and the air feature works. Nothing else on the seat works.

Any help appreciated.

Having same problem with our passenger seat except nothing works. Checked fuse and its good. All wire around seat looks good. Will have to look where wiring goes though floor and see what I find below.

There is also a plug/connector on both seats so they can be removed. Dust/dirt in the plug/connector could be the culprit here as the area under the seats is hard to vacuum/clean. Locate the plug disassemble/disconnect and clean with electrical contact cleaner. This plug is just a simple Molex connector and not an Delphi that is dust/waterproof. If your seats have the memory opt., try resetting the system by disconnecting them in the electrical bay outside under driver.

Well, I found one loose wire going to the center three controls. I thought there might be more fuses than what is outside under the driver. But I guess that’s all for the seats.

It appears that at the factory, the wires were zip tied without enough slack going to the controls. I gave it a little more slack.

This is our first trip in this coach. It had 31,000 miles on it when we left home in January. My wife and I really like it, but there are things about our Monaco Dynasty that are much better than this coach. It’s ridiculous that half the fuses on this coach are not identified. The worst is in the bathroom. There are 31 fuses, but nothing to tell what they go to.

Thanks Roamer, somehow when under seat the other day I missed seeing that plug. Even though I had removed the seat back in August of 2012 soon after bringing it home to get a res fridge inside. I'll clean it as that does appear to be the culprit.

StacyS....there should be a paper listing the fuses adhered to the left door where the intelletec controllers are located, someone must have removed it if it is not there. See pic.

StacyS....If you are confused by the ones in the bath, then don't look in the driver side basement ceiling under the metal flashing.

You may be into the weak side of a Travel Supreme - Wiring and Electrical! -

Owning and then Learning a bit about how to use a Multi meter will likely be in your future. -

My electrical parts box is Large along with the Electrical Tools I Carry to keep the TS on the Road - CRC 05101 QD Electronic Cleaner - CRC Industries, Inc. 05109 Dielectric Grease - Tekpower Mastech MS8268 Digital AC/DC Auto/Manual Range Digital Multimeter Meter - Fuses - Electrical Connectors - wire - ............... - on and on -

Time is not kind to electrical Connections in RV's - especially in your TS. -

So I'll suggest - you will need to become much more versed in Electrical issues or need to locate a really good Electrical to go with a High Limit Credit Card. -

Sorry to be a little negative with the reply - but with My Coach being 17 years old I have become much better at chasing these Gremlins in the electrical system in my Coach - often it takes some real effort, and a good bit of Patience.

I still love the coach and the comfort it affords us when we travel - using the Multimeter or just a simple Voltage Continuity and Current Tester - 6-12 V - )Test Light) find out where the Electric is then why it does not go to where you need it.

This old link may help - or entertain - as the TS owners are not Alone in this. - - https://www.irv2.com/forums/f258/wha...ag-468622.html

Best of Luck,

Thanks guys ! I’m mechanical in many ways, but I’ve never liked electrical. I guess I’m going to have to become a student, and learn a little.

Busskipper in addition to your great assortment, I carry a small selection from these kits. Which would be handy when working on the molex connector below the seats.

Nice assortment - But way above my Pay Grade - - https://www.amazon.com/Kuject-Connec...5-2aa47aa18b69 - I use the existing connectors - just easier - KISS - and if needed use this to Splice in the wire to correct the Short -

Used an entire box of these on lights last Summer - on my TS all the wires just rusted away to the rear lights - All good now - old Crimp fix lasted 2 years - we'll see how these work.

In the TS Electrical has been the most constant Challenge.

BUT Still love the old Girl!!!!

Don't know if your seat controls are like my 2004 Select but I had the same problem.

The multi switch on the aisle side of the seat has 3 switches. A toggle for forward/back and up/down and 2 tab switches for seat angle and i think back.

The switch is a 2 piece block and the front half of the block had separated about 1/32". Squeezed it back together and it fixed the problem.
