URGENT CANT UNLOCK CAR c32

[Billy albert]

whilst i am driving around with the seat disconnected , is there a safety issue or anything to do with airbags ?

 

[nigel cross]

No issues , but make sue the loose wires in the plug are covered with insulation tape to be safe and sure.

So checked battery voltage before I went out this morning and had a good voltage same as yesterday 12.58 v , with the drivers seat unplugged , what's the fix ? Why do they stay live any how ?

You have 2 choices that I know of


1) get replacement seat control modules - I don't know the cost on C32's but I would have thought circa >£250 each seat
2) rewire the seat + feed with a relay so that it only becomes active when the ignition is turned on (alternatively use the interior light as the trigger that way the seat is active once you open the door allowing you to move the seat for access as you would now). Cost £10 per seat!

I would use the IGN method as otherwise the seat could only be moved when the interior light is on.

Do a search on mbworld for the fix...basically there are three wires that feed the module....one perm live...one ignition live the third earth i think....5 min job to connect the perm to ignition live...Only thing you loose is the memory function! It has photos so its fairly straight forward!

Cool who uses the mem function anyway I don't
