The recline function on my drivers side seat only works 90% -this is strange since this tells me the motor (or one of the motors is fine) and the switch is fine. The recline will bring the seat all the way back to the rear seat and when you try to return it to the upright position is stops about 10 degrees short????

The memory does not return if back to where it should go either.

I've done my searches and tried the following:
1. Changed the fuses under the back seat -nothing different
2. Resync by sliding forward - no help although how long do you have to hold the switch forward (5 seconds??) once it reaches the front.

The rest of the seat works except the headrest -hasn't worked for the past 5 years since I purchased it.

How many motors control the recline function? If there are two then one must be broken. Is there a way to manually move it back to the desired angle?

thanks in advance

Want to put a tank in the trunk for WVO/SVO in the E300 Need to find a place to store my OIL!
Still procrastinating about the biodiesel/WVO
Made some biodiesel but so afraid to pour it all in - I've added some and think I'll supplement my fuel to see how I make out

Made some biodiesel but the process scares me - methanol fumes are not your friend! Need to do this outside.
