UPDATE:
I got the driver seat back from the upholstery shop yesterday. I installed it, and the seat and steeririg column controls work. However, the steering wheel will only go in or out now, not up or down. I am sure the up-down function worked when I picked up the car because the wheel was higher than it is now. The passenger seat has another problem too. I was able to get the rear bolts in the other day, but was not able to move the seat back to get the front bolts in. I had an extra seat control module, so I took off the rear bolts so I could tip the seat back to replace the module. I replaced it and tried to move the seat before bolting it down. It worked in all directions, so I put the front bolts in first. I got all four bolts in, and then tried to move the seat back. It would not move in any direction- not up, down, back, or forward. I was able to move it back by pressing the #3 memory button about a thousand times, moving the seat back a sixteenth of an inch each time the button was pressed. The only problem now, is that the seat back is tilted forward, and very uncomfortable to sit in. It would also not be good to be sitting there in a front collision. I am not sure what to do now. Yes I know an SDS would help me with this. I just need to find one for sale that I can afford. If I need to get the seat out again, it will be nearly impossible to get all four bolts out. I can't access the motors directly, otherwise I would hotwire them to get the seat in a good position. I do have a live data feature in my MB II, but not sure if it will reveal any useful information. Next chance I get, I may give it a try.
