...rear headrest switch on the dash to put down the rear headrests? I understand that this is vacuum in the W124's. Does it have its own vacuum motor or does it work off the motor. I wouldn't be asking but I haven't got my motor work finished on it, and would just like to know.

Hi Steve,

I had wondered about this myself on my 87 300E, I'm sure my owners manual said you need the engine running. Seems strange to me and I can't see the logic behind it. Anyway, mine is exactly the same as yours (either that or we've got the same problem!)

Cheers
Ian

Yes, the engine does have to be running, for the source is the engine, not the vacuum reservoir.

on my 91 300E I have to have the engine running AND have the rear sun screen down in order for the headrests to go down... took me a couple days to figure that one out.
Just my 2 cents.
