E250 Coupe Seat Adjustment Issues.

1. Electric Seat Adjustment
Problem

---

Hi All, this is the first post since I picked up my SLK 230K AMG today (2001).

So far I love the car and wished I bought one earlier. The only issue I am having is with the electric seat adjustment button on the driver side.

When I collected the car I managed to adjust the seat but now when I try and adjust the height or anything else nothing is happening when I press the button in any direction.

I have tried to get in touch with the local dealer that I got it from but he's not interested, all he said was bring the car back for a refund if I'm not happy:-(

Has anyone any ideas how to fix this?

I've had a search around and so far no luck :-(


Thanks
Garry

 

2. Look in the user's manual... I believe you have to have the door open, then turn the key to position 2 before you can adjust the seats.

 

3. The seat should adjust (a) With the door open, ignition can be off (b) with door closed, ignition should be on - at least position 2 if I remember correctly.
Also check fuses.

 

4. Thanks for the advise guys, I have tried with door open/closed and ignition on/off but no joy. Yet, the passenger side works fine. Perhaps is could be a fuse but seems odd that one side works and one side doesn't.

 

5. Fuse 21 - Seat adjustment Right
Fuse 22 - Seat adjustment Left

Check fuses and swap around if uncertain if fuse is blown.

 

6. According to page 38 of the user's manual...

Quote:

To operate the power seat adjustment switches, turn key in steering lock to position 1 or 2 (with the driver's or passenger's door open, the power seats can also be operated with the key removed or in in steering lock position 0).

7. Thanks for the advice guys, I have been at work all weekend so not had chance to check the fuse. Will have a check later on today and come back to you with any updates.

8. That would be appreciated, especially since you would be the first to have a problem with the electric seat adjustment.

9. If all the fuses are in order and seat adjustment prerequisites are met, then you should check the seat buttons. There have been cases that the buttons have been installed misaligned onto the switches. When this happens, the seats will be able to be adjusted in a particular direction and then not in the other. Hope this makes sense.

10. Hi, I have the same problem, It's a relay located around the steering column. If you
hit the area under the steering wheel it will probably start working again. You probably shodu replace the relay.
