I looked at the above listed car today and the control for the seat does not adjust what it represents on the seat. I can push the seatback portion of the control and the seat moves forward. Push the seat forward selection and the back of the seat tilts forward. Owner stated that it worked find until it was taken into one of the nearby dealers on a tow truck needing the ignition/immobilizer sorted out. Did actuation and the seat works fine in regards to what moves when you perform a certain selection from the laptop. Not so sure about the seat control.

Any thoughts?

oh yea - there are no faults on the system for the drivers seat

If you actuate the seat with the sds when you are in the seat control module and it works correctly and if the actual values for the seat switch respond correctly when you are watching them in the door control module my guess would be the door control module is somehow messing things up. Version coding affects most everything somehow in some way but it sounds like you have looked at that in the eis other than that I cant think of anything.






was ready looked at

Same issue with a new switch. Trying to troubleshoot now. There seems to be some electrical issues going on with the car in regards to the seat adjustment (drivers) and the sunshade. When modules go bad what happens?

Oh yea, the owner indicated that there were no issues with the seat until some ignition switch work was performed on the chipped key. Seems that the key quit working and she had it flat bedded to the MB dealer in Augusta and by the time she found out it did not properly control she was already back home ~100 miles away.

It sounds like your telling us that the seat problem began immediately after the "ignition switch" work was done??? Does this mean the ignition switch was replaced? If so, I'll bet some simple version coding of the EIS will fix the problem.

That is correct, the issue happened right after the ign switch system was replaced. I'll study up on the version coding of the EIS. Thanks

Regarding your PM. Not sure about the cloned SDS. Other than that, coding the EIS is pretty simple. You may need to know the vehicles option codes and/or modification year to get it right. A VMI will come in very handy.
