seat switches not working

OK I had a problem with my front lumbar switch,
in the sense it got knocked off, refitted it and couldnt get it to work.

So I was going to try and replace it but then found that

on BOTH seats the lumbar adjust and also the backrest width don't work
I know the drivers side worked but can't remember checking the passenger side?

Is there something common? like a fuse, I can't hear any clicking or noise,
even the deflate for the lumbar doesnt make that pffft noise

Help !

The E8x lumbar pump is common between the 2 seats. Have you checked your fuse-card (possibly different from 1M) and seat corresponding fuses? Is it possible the switch broke?

Hey man;
Thaks so much for coming back to me, MUCH appreciated

ok, that would make sense, I'm going to check the fuses tomorrow,
I don't know if the 1M and 128 is the same as per fuses, which was the next question

I am a bit loathe to try and remove the seat trim, (by the side bolster)
does it just clip in/out

I don't mind replacing the switch, as it is "possible" that it broke, but it's a bit weird if one switch break it effects the other seat too?

Check the fuse box behind the glove box. You need to drop the glove box down to get access to the fuses.

Possibly an electrical short in the broken switch blew the fuse for both sides? If that is the case, you may immediately blow any fuse you put in until you replace the shorted switch.
