We've been told that the driver side power seat switch is "going bad" on my wife's W210.

The forward/reverse action is reversed; push forward to go back, and push back to go forward. OK, I can live with that, BUT the tilt/telescope function has ceased with the wheel fully up and forward.

Now I may be a bit slow, but NO function sounds like switch failure, and REVERSE action sounds spooky!

If it's a bad switch, it might be covered StarMark since we paid for full electrical coverage, which would be a good outcome. If not, is it DIY on a door with side impact SRS? I'd hate to set that off!

On a side note, we've now broken our 2nd door open/closed sensing switch; if we don't remember to let the seatbelt retract before closing the door it neatly breaks the plastic switch! For now the switch is taped down to keep the interior lights off and it's taped in place to prevent the need to fish it out of the "B" pillar. We're learning...

Thanks in advance, and BCingU, Jim.
