Hi,
The seatbelt in my 2012 C Class was damaged, but when I researched it, I had to replace the whole seatbelt unit in the door frame, which I did. The new unit and seatbelt seem to work fine, but the notification 'Front left malfunction consult workshop' message now comes up in my display unit. I've read on other threads that I should have disconnected the batteries before doing any work, which I didn't do. There were a couple of connectors I had to unplug and I reconnected these to the new unit. I don't think anything is wrong with the new unit and I think I installed it correctly.
Does anyone know if this is an indication that the new unit is faulty? Or is this message normal after installing new units to do with the safety belts or airbags? Does anyone have any advice on how to clear the message if normal?
I've attached pictures of the unit I replaced and message on my dash.
I thank you in advance!
Gerhard
