Front seat in bmw 525 will not move and the motor giving no sound

This is either an electrical problem or the infamous twisted seat problem caused by the cables between the motors and reclining gear units of the power seat.
Check the connector under the front of the seat and make sure it has not been disconnected
listen to determine whether the motor at the front of the seat are turning when you try to move the seat (they are fairly quiet)
If the motor spins, then search internet for "bmw twisted seat"
good luck

The electric motor is located under the seat it may have shorted out. You would have to take the seat out to replace it.

It got flodded. Water bad for electrics. That be the problem. Bad. Water in electrics very very bad. Move to higher ground to keep water away. Unless you live in Bangladesh, the cannot escape water.

the sensors under the front seats are wet ,disconnect battery then clean and grease the connections and it should go out ,

get someone to hold the lever up make sure that the clip /lever things are pulling out teh track then sit in back and kick the lower part of the seat and it should move ,try some engine oil in the runners first as well not that spray ,its only fish oil buts its good for the knees or back though if well rubbed in

open trunk, disconnect rear trunk light. use jump box and connect wires to pos neg on jump box. this will give u enough juice to open doors, I have done it twice. easy to do

has to remove the inside panel door and remove the clip inside to open the handle cover then u can see the two nuts and remove them

try moving cable while pressing the swiches until it woks, had the same problem, just move the plug and cable until it works

This is a common BMW problem before giving to a mechanic try looking at the mechanism to see if any bolts are loose or missing,you might find the bracket is broken or torn and needs to be welded or replaced,the job is relatively easy but be carefull because of the SRS system if not sure give it to an expert.

you should check the motor and trans mounts if any ofthese are bad the motor could be shifting around and letting the fan rub the shroud wich could give you a noise
