Cool No memory function for passenger belt height adjustment -- a bug or a feature?

Hello everyone,

I just discovered that seat memory function in my car keeps the passenger height belt adjustment **out of scope**.

Test

I used seat memory function to memorise several seat positions with buttons '1' and '2' and '3'. For each memory position I had different location of passenger belt height. Now when I recall positions from seat memory, everything moves to memorised position EXCEPT the belt height adjustment. Belt height for passenger just remains in the same position regardless of memory function. For driver side the same memory function works as intended.

Investigation:

I removed lower b-pillars and inspected motors. Both motors are equipped with memory senders. On passenger side wires from memory sender only go up to electrical connection to main loom of the car where they connect with nothing! On driver side wires from memory sender are properly connected.

Pictures! This is how belt height adjustment motor looks like in the lower b-pillar.

There are 5 wires there. Two wires are attached to the bottom of motor barrel to actually drive it and 3 wires (blue, red and yellow) are connected to memory sender, which sits under white plastic cover with green 'X'.



Now those 5 wires travel from motor to the main loom of the car and we have electrical connection there. In that connection only 2 wires which drive the motor are actually connected to car loom. The other 3 for the memory sender are hanging in the air!



On driver side everything is tip top. All 5 wires are connected.



Question:

Is this a bug or a feature? Could you guys with front memory seats check if passenger seat belt adjustment memory function works in your car?
