could be an intermittent closing connection?

 

Is this a factory fitted?

lolol......

sorry, not really funny!

I am finding there are lots of shortcomings with the mk4 mondeo electrics too, having got one over a week ago I have fixed a couple of things already! 

I am guessing it is a short somewhere causing this.....try moving your seat to the back of its max travel and if it has electric lift then lift it to the max then see if the fault still occurs, if it doesn't then it is a connector in the seat maybe, the other major place to look is the fuse box under  bonnet, prone to corrosion underneath although looks good from above.

well I got the seat out today and checked the plugs on the seat will have a look at the fuse on Saturday  let you know thank you
