Re: [MBZ] Seat motor question

Might be prudent to check the etm to see if the seat memory module might complicate the reliability of any results you'd get from the wiring at the switch, Jay, if the 126 has seat memory. The motor' may well be accessible thru the seat back; the memory module and motor connectors are buried a bit

Re: [MBZ] Seat motor question

JJJ, I could be wrong , but I don't think so. It is a DC motor so if it worked to recline the seat the switch simply reverses polarity to make it go forward. This is almost certainly related to the switch. Hose out the switch contacts with some contact cleaner or brake clean while you opperate the

gotta go to work...i'll look for that motor...the headrest goes up and down and the seat goes foreward and back...it's just the pesky angle of the seat right now...

Re: [MBZ] Seat motor question

You might be in luck, sort of. Looks like the seat back motor & the headrest motor might be accessible by removing the panelling on the back of the seat which you should be able to do in situ. Don't know how similar the 126 seat is to my 124, but mine looked like somebody had kludzed in a replace
