Need part for seat control 81 300SD
Tore open the control box that makes driver's seatback slant forward/backward and seat bottom move front and back. These controls are pretty much fixable most of the time. However, I broke the black plastic piece that protrudes outside the control box and onto which you slide the finger control button. So now I have nothing to snap the finger control button on to make the seat back move; control for seat bottom is fine. Does anyone have one of these? It also has two springs and two copper contacts which slide up and down inside plastic tubes as a part of the same piece. There is a copper tube which slides completely through the part and pops into a holder so the entire part is secure inside the control box.
Also I lost one of the copper wing shaped V's that has a small contact at each end. There are a total of eight of these copper V's in the control box and I now have seven. Made a new one out of tin but do not think it is working. Should have taken a picture before sending this post but I have already put the door back together. If necessary, I will take it back apart and post a pic. I also need the passenger side front control - same control - broke off that one too and cannot slide the finger control on to make the seat back go forward/backward. So I need two of the control plastic pieces - driver's side and passenger side front. Thanks. |

are you talking about the electric seat control that mounts on the door??? Just replace the whole switch. I have one.

Yes - that is the control. Makes the seat go back and forth and the seat back slant. Generally I like to repair instead of replace but maybe it makes sense to replace. If yours will fit driver's side for 81 300SD, how much would it be shipped to 30305.
Need to fix the passenger side too. Carpool kids broke the finger control which makes the seatback slant and I never fixed it. With a spare control box maybe I can take one from the other side, turn it upside down and use it on the right side. Not sure. Thanks, Adrain |

I have a memory seat switch I'll sell you. I was going to swap it in to my SD, but decided I should not mess with something that is already working. PM me if you are interested.

Of course, the 1981 300SD did not come with memory seats......

True, it did not come with it, but it can be wired in. Some 300SDs of the era did come with it.
