Dear Jim Lee,

Hope this find you well. The relay is on the circuit board, inside the switch. Most schematics - including those in the Volvo wiring diagrams - do not diagram the internals of components, as a failed component is supposed to be replaced, not repaired. The relay is black/very dark brown. It is about 3/4" long, 1/2" wide, and about 3/8" tall. There is no other component like it on the board.

I'd guess that one could bypass the relay, by removing it, and soldering wires to connect the circuits, that the relay controls. Doing that, though, could put at risk the seat motors, as they would have no protection against a power surge.

Hope this helps.

Yours faithfully,

Spook
