Left front power seat and front passenger seat memory

The left/right front ESA control modules contain a memory for both the left front power seat and front passenger seat.

Components

The left/right front ESA control modules (N32/1, N32/2), as well as the various motors of the left/right ESA motor group (M27, M28) are of like design and can be interchanged with each other.
