What car is it in? My c124 headrest occasionally sticks. If i push the button down and giv ethe headrest a "helping hand" it goes down again. Only sticks if i FULLY extend the thing up (which I dont do know!)

First thing to do is check the fuses.

Try resetting the seat, by using the power button to slide fully forward, then fully back again, worth trying a couple of times possibly.

Reset procedure should be in the handbook as well.

Fuses??? Does it have multiple fuses for the seat? all other adjustments work...

 

[BaldGuy]

All fixed... just pulled all plugs and re-seated... pull headrest up and out of seat and re-seated... all works now....

Cheers all...

i have just noticed my headrest on my r129 is not working either (passenger side) (WBD129067), i can hear the motor inside the chair making noise but nothing happens, i checked manual for reset procedure but could not find one, fuses are all okay too, where abouts would i find the cables to unplug and replug or would anyone know of a reset procedure for this car (from 1996 btw)

Hi,

What I did with mine was to completely take the headrest out of the seat, take the headrest motor to the top and if you can remove the headrest.. I know its not powered but try and get it out.... When out make sure the motor is at the top most setting and re-insert you headrest pushing down until you hear a click.. The headrest should now be back on the motor and work ( well mine did)!!!!

As for plus.. I just unplugged everything to the seat and re-seated everything...

Good Luck..

Just bought an 03 CLK5, having the same problem with the drivers headrest. so will use the tips as above.
I used this forum when I had my C270CDi, the search function helped me MANY times as niggling faults cropped up, the info & tips supplied probably saved much time & money tracking faults & visiting main MB stealer.
What i'm getting at is that it's never to late to respond to sorted questions.
Thanks in advance, more elec gadgets mean I will probably be asking for more help in the future
