This electric driver’s seat control is a direct-fit replacement unit designed for Citroën C5 first generation vehicles equipped with power-adjustable driver seats. Ideal for professional workshops and DIY mechanics, this control panel restores seat adjustment functions such as fore/aft travel, seat height, backrest angle and other motorized movements depending on the original vehicle equipment. The part is often searched by its product codes (for example 8914AL or 6554J3), making it easy to find for repair or replacement jobs.

Benefits Of Replacing The Seat Control: Restores Full Seat Adjustability, Improves Driver Comfort And Safety, Eliminates Intermittent Or Non-Working Positioning Functions, And Prevents Further Wear On Seat Motors Caused By Faulty Switching.

Technical Information

• Manufacturer: Stellantis (Citroën / Peugeot)
• Model: Citroën C5 First Generation (C5 I) – Driver Side Electric Seat Control
• Product Codes: 8914AL, 6554J3, 8914EH, 8914EG
• Other Numbers: NFP

Compatibility And Fitment

Designed primarily for Citroën C5 first-series vehicles fitted with factory electric driver seats. Compatibility depends on the original seat equipment and connector variant; the unit typically replaces the original switch assembly in the driver seat trim. Use the product codes above when searching to confirm fitment for a specific vehicle.

How The Part Works

The control assembly sends commands to the seat motors and position sensors when a driver operates the switches. Internally it contains electrical contacts, switch mechanisms and wiring connectors that control forward/back movement, height adjustment, backrest tilt and, where fitted, lumbar adjustments. A properly functioning control ensures smooth, repeatable seat movement and correct position memory behavior if the vehicle is so equipped.

Installation Recommendations

For safe and reliable replacement follow these general steps: Disconnect The Negative Battery Terminal Before Starting, Move The Seat To An Accessible Position, Remove The Seat Trim Panels To Access The Switch Assembly, Unplug The Electrical Connector(s) And Unscrew The Fasteners Holding The Control Unit, Install The New Control Unit, Reconnect The Electrical Connector(s), Refit Trim Panels And Reconnect The Battery. Check All Seat Functions After Reinstallation. Typical Replacement Time: Approximately 30–60 Minutes For A Skilled Technician; Allow More Time For Vehicles With Additional Trim Or Airbag/Seatbelt Sensor Integration.

Why This Part Most Commonly Fails

Failures Are Usually Caused By Mechanical Wear Of Switch Contacts, Corrosion Or Oxidation Of Electrical Connectors, Moisture Ingress From Spills, Or Damage From Excessive Force. Frequent Use And High Mileage Increase Wear On Moving Contacts And Internal Potentiometers, Leading To Intermittent Operation Or Complete Loss Of Function. In Some Cases, Wiring Harness Damage Or Faulty Seat Motors Can Present Similar Symptoms—diagnose Electrical Continuity And Connector Condition Before Replacing Motors.

Notes For Mechanics And DIY Enthusiasts

When ordering, use The Product Codes Listed Above To Find The Correct Unit. Inspect Connectors For Corrosion And Ensure Pin Contacts Are Straight Before Installation. If Multiple Seat Functions Are Failing Simultaneously, Check Fuses, Ground Points And Wiring Harnesses To Rule Out External Electrical Issues. Replacing The Control Assembly Often Restores Proper Function Without The Need To Replace Higher-Cost Components.

Premium replacement electric seat control module designed for the passenger seat of the Citroën C5 first generation. This unit restores full power adjustment functions — forward/backward travel, seatback tilt and any integrated lumbar or height adjustments (depending on the seat equipment). Ideal for professional workshops and DIY mechanics who need a direct-fit part identified by common part numbers such as 8914AK and 6554J3. Clear part-number references improve findability in searches and help match the correct item quickly.

Function And Benefits

The module controls the electric actuators inside the passenger seat, converting the switch commands into motor movements. Replacing a faulty seat control returns smooth, reliable seat positioning and restores any memory or comfort features tied to the seat electronics. Typical user benefits include precise seat adjustments, improved passenger comfort and elimination of intermittent or non-responsive controls.

Compatibility And Fitment

Designed for Citroën C5 first-generation passenger seats. Use the listed product codes to confirm fitment when searching parts catalogues or listings. The unit is typically fitted on versions equipped with electric adjustment of the front passenger seat — equipment may vary by trim level and production year.

Replacement Procedure (Overview)

General replacement steps for experienced mechanics or competent DIYers:

• Disconnect the vehicle battery before starting work to prevent short circuits and preserve safety.
• Move the seat to a position that provides access to mounting bolts and connectors.
• Remove lower trim panels or seat side covers to access the switch/control module and wiring harness.
• Carefully unplug electrical connectors and detach the control module from the seat frame or trim (note connector tabs and securing clips).
• Install the replacement unit in reverse order, reconnect connectors and reattach trim. Reconnect battery and verify full function of all seat movements.

Exact removal and refitment steps can vary by submodel; always follow manufacturer service instructions where available.

Installation Recommendations

• Always disconnect the battery before disassembly and wait a few minutes to allow capacitors/vehicle systems to discharge.
• Handle connectors and PCB-mounted switches with care to avoid damage to pins and plastic clips.
• Inspect wiring harnesses and connector pins for corrosion or damage and repair any issues before final assembly.
• After installation, cycle all seat functions to confirm smooth operation and check for any fault indicators on the vehicle.
• If the seat has memory functions tied to vehicle electronics, some models may require initialization or parameter checks after replacement — perform according to factory procedure.

Why This Part Fails Most Often

Common causes of failure include worn or pitted electrical contacts inside the switch assembly, ingress of dirt or moisture leading to corrosion, mechanical wear of internal switch mechanisms from frequent use, and damaged wiring or connector problems (pin corrosion or broken wires). In some cases, actuator motors present in the seat cause symptoms that mimic a faulty control module — diagnosing connectors and motor currents helps isolate the fault.

Notes For Professionals And Enthusiasts

This part is typically sought by technicians and independent enthusiasts by part number (e.g., 8914AK, 6554J3). When replacing, verify that the seat equipment level (height adjustment, lumbar, memory) matches the replacement module’s functions to ensure full compatibility.
