a fulty switch pack will blow fuses and it will stop the electric steering as well, i know this as when i removed my trim and unplugged the switch pack the steering stopped working, check to see if any of the loom has been cought. V8 facelift Range Rover Autobiography 22" wheels.

Unfortunately there are a considerable number of items protected by Fuse 20, all relating to the drivers seat functions. Anyone of these being faulty could cause the fuse to blow.

I noted the comments from Daveo but I have been under the seat and nothing is trapped or damaged, I wish it had been that simple I just replaced both catalytic converters last week due to some pr@t not welding them corecty!

ok you could do a few test yourself, start by unplugging all the plugs on the switch unit..then try to see if it stops the fuse blowing.. V8 facelift Range Rover Autobiography 22" wheels.

I've spent the last couple of weekends sorting out the same fault!

Forget to mention that the wires behind the switch pack are suppose to be housed neatly, when I took mine off they were all over the place. The years of seat adjustment wouldn't have helped. |

My old 2004 used to do exactly that. I never move the seat but the s/wheel would move every time as I turned the ignition on for a few days or weeks then the fuse would go. As the s/wheel was the only thing moving I assumed it was that mechanism maybe getting a bit sticky. I guess it could also be a shorting wire in the column too.

OK so guess what. I had the car in to get a brake disc shield replaced and asked the garage to have a look for anything obvious. They changed the fuse, again and now it all works again and has been since last week.

did the range come back nice and clean from the garage , i'm thinking a pressure washer would have caused your sensor problem if it had.. ... - .- -.

Yes it did (I had the same thoughts) I use a jet wash too but avoid the sensors. Not easy to prove it beyond doubt though. You are either at Le Mans or waiting for Le Mans
