electric seats

ok so i leaned my seat back to "enjoy" the evening with this nice young lady .. all of the sudden when i tried to lean it back up it wouldnt go .. i thought the motor was shot ..

so i removed the motor and tested it in both directions .. checked out ok ..

so i replaced my door switch ... and same results .. i then listened very carefully under the seat when pressing the switch ... when i press the switch to lean the seat forward it makes a click type sound as if its getting power but a relay or whatever isnt sending it further to the motor .. leaning back functions still works fine

does anyone know if i can replace anything under the seat that would fix this ?? is there seperate relays or anything else .. seems like there is allot of stuff under the seat for all the functions it has


thanks in advance !!

Is that on a 1988 300SE???

Possibly a blown fuse.

do a search on cleaning the switches -
I had the exact issue - motor good but won't lean forward -
i took the switch apart -(FUN, FUN, FUN)
and now it works correctly - the contacts in the switch get gunked / coppered up

Seat tilt

I cleaned the plug connections under the seat and it started working fine.
