Default 991.1 Cab Driver Power Seat not working

As the title says, the Driver side power seat (18 way) is not reacting to any control - recline, forward / backward, lumbar, bolsters etc. Passenger side works fine - so tell me not the fuse. Also, the heated seats are working fine. Any idea on what could have happened? Was working fine until this afternoon. Lose harness or clip? If anyone has pictures you can share of any wiring or harness I should check, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Have heard that pulling main battery power, waiting for a few minutes, then reconnecting may reset things. Then you have to recalibrate the seat by running through all the adjustment ranges on each of the controls. This is assuming the fuse is good.

hmm, hesitating to pull main battery in case it cases other issues (I'm in week 1 of ownership of first Porsche so a bit nervous / uninitiated in Porsche's).

Any other steps i can try first before going down the route of battery disconnect?

These cars do weird stuff if the main battery is low. Make sure that is fully charged. If you have "entry and drive" try seeing if you can recover a settings program from your key to the car (see the owners manual on doing this). Other than that you may need to have a shop look at it for codes etc.

I beg the difference regarding the fuse. I sincerely believe there are 2 fuses, one for each seat.
