Re: [MBZ] W126 300SD power seats almost done!
Hi, Dennis. I didn't realize you were referring to the color of the seat and not the color code on the wiring! DUH! My dad says that he can't distinguish the color of the new seats with the old ones, and this was with the old passenger's seat still in place. Noone else has looked at the seats since we started the job. Kevin in Hillsboro Oregon 1983 300SD 284K miles, Ursula
[MBZ] W126 300SD power seats almost done!
Hello everyone! Now that I have found some wonderful matching seats for my 300SD for a wonderful price (thanks dennis T), I was ready to tackle the project of rr-ing them. I couldn't move the seats forward to get at the rear bolts in the conventional way due to bad switches and bad drive cables in the case of the driver's seat. I had to use a 1/4 drive 3/8 9mm? socket to get under the runner and get a bite on them which I'm happy to say worked well although time consuming!! The driver's seat went in and since it worked ok, I was able to move the seat in the appropriate direction to line up the holes and install the bolts. It's now road ready, at least for the driver! I have to sit on the floor board until Dad and I tackle the passenger's side tomorrow hahahahaha! I got that seat out as well, but since the connector shell was broken, we've decided to solder the wires already in the connector to those on the seat using the color code. Daylight ran out, so it's on hold for tomorrow. Then, it's off for a test drive on the cushy seats! Yeah! Kevin in Hillsboro Oregon 1983 300SD 284K miles, Ursula

If the connector shell is broken (at the seat end) just replace it with another one. The parts that hang off the wiring harnesses are separately available through your normal parts channel. I just use junkyard ones, of course. Unless you mean the mate that's part of the seat assembly itself is broken. Even that might be swappable with your old one. You shouldn't have to solder at the seat end. -- Jim

Re: [MBZ] W126 300SD power seats almost done!
Kevin, I'm with Jim, I would have thought you could use the plastic connector case from the old seat and just plug the new seat wiring into it. So was the color match to your likingremembering your Dad may stretch the truth? Hope they work well for you and outlast the car.

Re: [MBZ] W126 300SD power seats almost done!
I do have another connector shell for the seat end, but there's no way to know the proper color code when putting the different pins into the good connector. Is there a way to do this? Do you just take the wires off all of the motors on the junkyard seat and hook them up to yours? Kevin in Hillsboro Oreogn 1983 300SD 284K miles, Ursula

Do you just take the wires off all of the motors on the junkyard seat and hook them up to yours? You make it match the other seat, if one of yours is all that is broken. The connectors come apart easily, and if you don't screw around they go back together right with no problems. The pins 'drape' where they should go. -- Jim
Re: [MBZ] W126 300SD power seats almost done!
Well, i'll have to take a look at things to see where the pins are draping. They've been hanging around for a long time in Dennis's garage and who knows how long at the original place from where they were shipped, so who knows what's really up or down. Hopefully, they're draping the right way so I can place them in the connector shell and mount it before putting the seat into the car. We'll SEE how it goes tomorrow.
