You sir are a legend! Had a can of air freshener get lodged under the seat of my E class tonight while accessing back seats and the passenger seat was stuck far forward, watched your video and managed to get it back into place and working like normal again
THANK YOU - You my friend are a champion. I had a water bottle stuck up my seat that dislodged the motor, and only form you video i DIY repaired. Thank you
How can you fix the rail are not level already seat in an angle. Do you have to remove the screws to open up the bottom rail to adjust and level it up?
Hi Alan i have a e350 and i can see where the bracket is bent which cause the seat not to move forward and back. I can hear the click when i press the button the head rest and up and down works the seat is stuck close to the dash board would i still be able to tilt it back to replace the bracket ?
so the two front bolts can't remove, see can do this, look under the car, see can find that two front nuts, after you fought, drill the bolts only, see you can use the nut again, good luck.😁
@@alanw5812 hey thanks for the response upon further review of tilting the seat all the way in the up position i was able to look at it from the back of the seat. found out that the seat adjustment motor and the short drive pin is missing. so i will need to purchase another motor and short drive pin looks like its plug an play and it dont look like the bracket was bent it looks like someone took it. hopefully this is all i need. wish me luck 🤞
Hmmmm, this could be the problem in my 01 s320. The seat was working (front of bottom section up/down), but now it isn't. I can hear the motor working but nothing happens. Hopefully as simple as this. Cheers
hi bro ,i have a issue about seat adjustment is about forward and backward problem after i change the motor and small module beside the motor .When i push to forward but the seat go backward and push backward seat go forward 😂what reason can make this issue?
motor is only two wires, is the motor put on the wrong way, or the plug on the wrong way, because I can't see here, if you can't find the problem, you can just swap the wires to fix it.
Hi Alan I have a problem with my 2004 e55 amg I been doing a whole lot of research and I can’t seem to find the problem, everything works with the seat it just doesn’t go down from the back like to sit in a bucket so the seat is constantly up and My head almost hits the roof any help boss would be great
Yeahh I can hear the motor click along with the switch on the door and I believe it’s the control model for the seat clicking as well I checked to see if the motor was popped out but it doesn’t seem to have the same track as the one in the video
Sorry just wake up, so short rod is left ,long rod is right, usually right side of the seat move left side not, because short rod come off easy, just did one yesterday, small plastic bottle jam under the motor,second times this car, usually case is the short rod not into the hole, other side of the motor, and remember to use the switch to adjust the seat to balance left and right rails before put the rod back, O four doors do it from the back, 2 doors do it from the front ,any questions welcome 😀
@@nickyfresh6577 our shop do RWC, a 4wd last week just use 30 plastic cable tie to tie a roof size metal basket on the roof, oh no 😢 cable tie under hot sun will Crack.
I have an issue with a c300 2010 with the switch that moves the seat forward and backwards. It makes a clicking noise but does not move. I am still able to lean my seat back and forward on the top switch. Any idea on what i can do to try to solve this? Mercedes wants to charge me 300 just to look at it
There was also a water leak issue with the car that was getting under the seats. So maybe moisture messed something up? Just not sure why i can move the top switch back and forward but not the bottom ( the whole seat)
Leak from sunroof ? First check it is power to the motor that on my video or feel the motor by hand, if no power,then follow the wires to find the relay, everything are under the seat, or try the parts from other seat.
Alan W haha i dont even know where the leak came from but it was a nightmare because i was left stranded with my car not starting. Had to replace the CAN block from the water damage. I paid mercedes 1300 (they took off all the seats) to check for the leak and they never found it… i think it it came from the front windshield area by the wipers i cleaned it because it looked clogged with leaves and other stuff so we will see if that worked
@@frankiehoxha sorry if you said that, you need to know how sunroof seal, sunroof are not 100% sealed, even new car ,rain still can pass ,so all the models are the same ,it have two small drain holes about 5mm at the front each corner, and one big at the back, if block 100% are the front small holes. how to check it, open the sunroof all the way, and put water slowly to each side middle,so the water will run to the front drain holes,it should drain to the holes within 10 seconds, if water doesn't drain, need to use high pressure air to blow the holes and check the floor any water draining, if se mean you fix it :)
@@alanw5812 yes, that can be put back in. But in a short time they may pop out again. When I had new cables done they never came out again. Up to you what you want to do. Your video is good in that it points out other issues that can be the cause of cable issues and should be checked for sure.
@@alanw5812 ok, if it works then it works.sadly many of the ones I worked on were due to the outer housing of the cable stretching and not being able to hold the cable in place. So thus making longer cables. But if what you are doing works then more power to you. And yes, I tried many things to try and make it easily repairable but none lasted long if at all. As I was a tech and a shop owner I had to go the easiest and cheapest way that lasted.
@@georgecurtis6463 I think half of people watch my video are try to diy, repair it himself ,if can use again ,use it until it need to replace, save the earth 🌎 😉

Same thing happened to me today did this video help with the issue? And also do you remember if the car display says “rear backrest not locked?
My seat in a w207 chassis does come forward enough in the seat back aspect, so worth checking the seat cable adjustments. Many thanks
What’s the name of the two pieces ?that the motor is attached to the rail with please help
Hey boss where can u purchase that motor bracket trying to look everywhere online can’t find one
Some people like to put shoes under the seat,and the motor push up easy.
Mind the short size cable broken and I am waiting for Aliexpress to send me the replacement before I can fix my issue
I have problem On w205 how do I remove the seat base
The motor is broken if The seat moves just up and down, The back side does not move? Or is The seat control buttons broken?
Is this for 2008 s550 ? My numbers keeps going back to 0
How do you access seat motor?
Quick question, how to remove the plug from the seat motor. I am unable to unclip it.
Hi! 0:24 Grey color lock,move that lock back a littlt first,then pull the plug, if just refit the cable don't need to remove cable !
@@alanw5812 got it , thank you
How can you fix the rail are not level already seat in an angle. Do you have to remove the screws to open up the bottom rail to adjust and level it up?
it always the short cable come off, before you put the cable back ,use the switch to only move the long cable side rail, this how I level both rails.😁
Thank you, great video! 👍

Common issue is that the cable housing stretches a bit. Fix is to get a new cable made that is a mm or so longer by a speedo shop.
I seen to cables turn out half turn ,usually it's can be put it back .
