No power to Automatic Seats when Car not started
Just started happening. My '13 328i has no power unless the car is started. Basically I can't move the seats unless I start the car. Any Ideas?

they usually work for about 15min after car has been turned off like the rest of the equipment, after that you have to at least hit the start button one time with the keys near by to restore power

Thanks for the tips!
I would say it is closer to a minute before it ceases. Not enough time to move the seat all the way back and forward. Started car, same test and same result. But did notice for the first time a battery discharged warning. So something electrical may be off. |

Sounds like your battery is ready to give up the ghost - is it the original?

In my 09 E92 the AGM battery only lasted 4 yrs - dealer replaced it under warranty after I bitched about such short life span

It's the battery. Telltale signs that it's gonna ghost soon. Our cars are smart enough to disable non essential services when the battery charge is low, so as to conserve power for startup.

My '96 would do that if you went WOT, the AC compressor would turn off to minimize parasitic loss. Not all that new tech ........

Hmm...if I walk up my car or wife;s truck and use 'my' fob, it'll adjust the seats like it's supposed to before I ever get there and initiate my profile....
