Seat motor replacement?

[CLK Man]

My passenger seat on my X reg CLK only works up and down , but not forward and backward. The local indie garage, I'm currently in Ireland, but which I use for fuel often for years, have looked at it and have said it's the motor which requires to be replaced. There is a clicking noise when you use the button. As I guess the motor is expensive and the cost of removing the seat (and its stability and safety in the future) has made me wary of having it done. Could anyone know a reasonable figure would be for this repair, when back in UK?

Could it just be a faulty relay, as opposed to the motor. The "solution" was done by a youngish mechanic in his late 20's and without any electrical test equipment, so obviously I am doubtful on their solution.

Anyone who can give me any tips - think I read somewhere about resetting the seat???? How??? Is that possible???

Any info appreciated

Regards

Just a quick reply, the seat squab is easy to take off with just 2 screws at the bottom front edge. You must have someone with a voltmeter to see if the 12v is going to the motor when the switch is depressed, you have relays and limit switches, anything could be wrong.

Check fuses in the rear

HI

There are many fuses to this system, check the fuses in the boot fuse box (f4) I think you have a 25 amp fuse blown, I know this sounds odd but check all the fuses

I suggest ring Martin in Mercedes service at Tom Murphys in Waterford. They are an MB Main Dealer. 051 301222. They are very helpful and Martin is willing to get his hands dirty!!. I use them all the time
