Since I've had some time off for the holidays, I thought I'd replace the passenger seat switch in my '97 E320. For the last month the switch would only move the seat forward regardless of the direction the switch was moved. The pre-programmed settings were the only way to get the headrest down and the seat moved back.

I searched the previous threads and decided to buy some contact cleaner and see if I could clean the switch up a bit before I dropped $130 on a new switch. So, off to Radio Shack I went, picked up the contact cleaner, came home to pull the switch out.

I sat in the passenger seat and began removing the buttons. When I got to the lower (front/back) button the seat moved back??!?!?!!?

Problem solved. Go figure????? Any thoughts on what the heck happened? Late Xmas present?
