Evening Gents,
Got a bit of a problem I'm hoping you can assist with.
The passenger side lumbar/pulse functions do not seem to work in the 2001 CL55 I have recently purchased. (Silly me didnt check it when buying but oh well)...
Anyway, the drivers side works perfectly and to eliminate the likelihood of the actual switch being faulty I swapped the drivers side and passenger side ones around...the actual switches are fine as when I put the passenger one onto the driver side, all functions worked fine, but when attaching the drivers side switch to passenger side, still nothing!..and when I say nothing I mean nothing, the red light does not even appear when pressing the pulse button on passenger side... Everything else on the car, (soft close doors/boot) works fine.
The only difference under the seat/switch I noticed was that the drivers side seemed to have some sort of white 'line/pipe' attached to the switch wiring WITH a nipple on the end (apologies I do not know how to upload photos in text) and the passenger side DID NOT have a nipple at the end of the line...if someone can tell me how to upload pics i will be more than happy as i took some on my iphone...
Anyway, to describe this nipple ... it is dark grey with a blue ring in it and is connected to a white thin line/pipe. To me it seems like some sort of bleed nipple??
Anyhow, that is the difference at the moment between the seat which functions and the one which doesnt.
1) Seems no power to pass side seat switch as no light when pulse button pressed
2) No nipple on pass side
I want it working..any ideas on what the culprit is? Anyone had similar issues with their pulse/lumbar support functions on a merc of that era/age???
