thanks trucido, any idea which number the other fuse is? the fuse box is too confusing
 
i wasnt aware that i was, i press the button and it posts my query.

i am new to this and only after some advice, being a seat owner i thought that this site would be able to help, and the people on the site would be helpful too!
 
thanks dpj, although i still havent found an answer to my problem so i will have to take the car to the stealers.
 
UPDATE ON RADIO AND CLIMATE CONTROL NOT WORKING

AFTER CHECKING ALL THE FUSES, DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY AGAIN AND TAKING OFF RADIO FASCIA TO ENSURE RIBBON CONNECTOR NOT LOOSE.......

MY BROTHER FOUND THAT THERE IS A FUSE IN THE BACK OF THE RADIO UNIT, AND HEY PRESTO IT HAD BLOWN, NEW FUSE IN THAT AND EVERYTHING IS WORKING PERFECTLY.

i am so happy but amazed that after trawling through hundreds of posts on this site that no-one else even suggested that there was another fuse on the back of the radio.

so my advice to others is to check that fuse first.
thanks everyone for all the advice though
