electric seats
 

ok so i leaned my seat back to "enjoy" the evening with this nice young lady .. all of the sudden when i tried to lean it back up it wouldnt go .. i thought the motor was shot ..

so i removed the motor and tested it in both directions .. checked out ok ..

so i replaced my door switch ... and same results .. i then listened very carefully under the seat when pressing the switch ... when i press the switch to lean the seat forward it makes a click type sound as if its getting power but a relay or whatever isnt sending it further to the motor .. leaning back functions still works fine

does anyone know if i can replace anything under the seat that would fix this ?? is there seperate relays or anything else .. seems like there is allot of stuff under the seat for all the functions it has


thanks in advance !!

I am not really familiar with that year and model.... ah yeah.... Do you have a schematic?

Is that on a 1988 300SE???

Possibly a blown fuse.

1988 300se

fuses are good .. just that the titlt forward doesnt work .. all other functions work fine .. is there anything under the seat that controls each funtion ? some type of relay ?

do a search on cleaning the switches -
I had the exact issue - motor good but won't lean forward -
i took the switch apart -(FUN, FUN, FUN)
and now it works correctly - the contacts in the switch get gunked / coppered up

so the switch could be thedeal? The seat gets juice alittle as you can feel it---I am glad I am gona tear it apart too (mine is similar)

Seat tilt
 

I cleaned the plug connections under the seat and it started working fine.

ill try to look more under the seat .. i am kinda hesitant about taking the seat out .. but i have spilled allot of stuff in it .. i put a diff switch in and it does the same thing .. ill check out underneath
