1985 300SD - power seats help

Good morning,

I have a 1985 300SD that I recently purchase.

I have one annoying little issue:

The fuse for the power seats is continually blowing. I figure that the fuse may be too small for the load or that there is a short somewhere.

What should the correct fuse be? And if I am looking for a short, where would be the best place to start?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Plantman

are your springs OK?

Plantman,

I replaced the seat springs on my '87 SDL last summer. One of the springs (well actually 3 of the springs) had broken, as is typical. When one broke it sliced into the wires for the headrest. Blown fuse, no headrest movement. It was in a wire bundle under the seat. I'm sure this is only one of many possible solutions, but not one I would have guessed before seeing it.
