The seat switches in my 190D were bad and worked only occasionally when I got
the car.
I don't think you can get enough contact cleaner in there to make much
difference, I couldn't anyway. Once you take one apart you'll know why.
I replaced both of mine with units from Rusty.
A hint: Don't take the switch apart in the car... Little balls and tabs and
springs go everywhere. The old advice to take it apart in a plastic bag is spot
on.

The electric seat control on the door of my 300D 2.5t only works in
some
positions-this is recent, although it seemed to be flakey on the
forward
position when I got the car. Had stopped altogether and then I sprayed
dome
electrical contact cleaner in it today to give it the Cathey treatment.
Seemed to help a bit, but not sure it didn't discolor the door panel a
bit.
Can I remove this switch by just pulling off the plastic handle? Or
other
disassembly required? (I am used to the 240D's with the $16.75
plastic
replacement handle for the manual seat control.
Thanks,
Dwight
