2008 w204 C Class Petrol
Hi All


I have a 2008 c-class w204, petrol with electric seats. On the front passenger side the seat will not straighten back up from the reclined position. It will only go in one direction - recline - and I have not been able to get it back. Other motor works. All fuses are fine.

The switch clicks but not motor sounds or relay clicking noises.

The seat is now reclined in an uncomfortable position for passengers and for someone behind it.

Where is the motor for the back rest? Is it actually in the back rest or in the sides of the base> I have removed the seat cushion but can not see anything. I sus[pect it is in the backrest or in the base of the seat towards the centre console. How do I remove the cover on the back rest to see inside?

Any advice to sort this out appreciated.

Thanks
Ed.
