2002 v70 power seat module - Expert needed?

[gundito]

I have a 2002 v70 t5.
Took it to the dealer to get the drivers seat repaired - it stopped moving about a year ago.

They diagnosed it as needing a new "power seat module", $881. They said a used part cannot be used as this module links the entire computer system and a used model cannot be reprogrammed.

I called and ordered a used part from Erie VoVo, only $135, who assured me that the used modules they sell would work and their was no need to reprogram it.

Before I install this used part, can anyone offer me any reassurance?

Used works, no software needed
(Did one this past winter, bought from Erie).
Oh and tell your dealer not to LIE to their customers.

(They may not know. Mine is a large service dept and no one there knew until I tried it. However, what they told me was the turth, that they really did not know and for me to try it)

Thanks JRL.
Adam at Erie laughed when I told him what the dealer said.

Did you put yours in yourself, or did the dealer do it?
I'm a bit handy and could probably do it myself. What do you think?

If you can remove the seat (at least the front of it) you can do it
