The electric seat control box of the FAW-Volkswagen Tiguan is located under the hood. Here is more information about the Volkswagen Tiguan: 1. Power: The Shanghai Volkswagen Tiguan offers a total of 4 versions and 7 models, including the Urban Edition, Trendline, Highline, and Flagship. They are equipped with Volkswagen's mainstream 1.8TSI and 2.0TSI engines. 2. Space: The Tiguan's length has been increased by 68mm, and the wheelbase has reached 2684mm, placing it at an upper-middle level among vehicles in the same class, aiming to meet the usage needs of Chinese consumers. The Tiguan's trunk can be freely adjusted between 400L and 1530L.
I remember the control unit for the electric seats in the 2011 Tiguan is usually hidden under the seat, specifically beneath the frame of the driver or passenger seat. Lifting the carpet reveals a small black box connected to wires. Last time I helped a friend fix it, I found it secured beside the rail, where it can easily accumulate dust or get damaged by moisture. If the seat stops moving, first check the fuse box, as blown fuses are quite common. If that’s not the issue, it might be a faulty control unit. Be careful when working on it yourself—avoid pulling the seat forcefully to prevent damaging the cables. Regularly cleaning debris under the seat is important, and keeping the area dry can extend component life. If you can’t locate it, it’s best to visit a professional repair shop—they can quickly diagnose the issue with their equipment, ensuring safety and peace of mind.
