2011 E350d E Class Convertible front left malfunction consult workshop

[iand123]

I was just about to sell my E 350d 2011 convertible and started getting this message. Went to a local independent dealer today who ran a diagnostic on it and confirmed that the seat sensor pad was faulty. The part i need is 2078700610 but apparently Mercedes have discontinued it. Seems to be some emulator things on ebay but seems a bit dodgy. Want to get the car sold asap anyone got any ideas on what options i may (or may not) have?

Could something like this be an option

The seat belt buckle emulator sends an information to a car's computer that your seat belt buckle is fasten and switches off the sound and the warning light of unfasten seat belt. The emulator does NOT remove fault codes of the seat belt pretensioner, SRS problems or other related to the seat...

It's a very common fault (I had it replaced on both my W203 and my W204). I can't believe that MB no longer make the part. I would try another indie, or a dealer. The part you are looking for is called Front Passenger Seat Occupancy Sensor, or 'sensor mat' for short. Good luck.

Apparently they contacted a Mercedes garage for parts and they said it’s bo longer available. I can’t find any parts online anywhere for it so it must be true but will try a few others tomorrow just to be sure

Pardon my ignorance but what do I do with this? Plug it in to the points under the seat where the existing wires are?

When you find out let me know . I’m sure someone will have used them and I would also guess your MB Indy would know .
If you can look at your failed emulator and it’s connections the solution may be there ?
