Removing an electric seat that won't move and prevents you from getting to the mounts

[Doug427]

I wish I could help you on the Benz - this simple Boxster seat issue I had stumped me for a few days. I think your Benz seat issue requires someone with a much higher level of expertise than I possess. For what it's worth, my daily driver is a W211 E55 AMG. The car is a beast - AMG's are tons of fun. Best of luck - I read your thread on the Benz forum, they look like nice seats.

Congrats!
Hopefully this milestone opens the door to many more.

Thanks
I was hoping for lightning to strike and reveal an expert on Mercedes seats. I’ve had a bit of random luck on some of my previous projects and I am always willing to ask for input.

The seats are significantly more complex than those on a 986. I have found a way to operate the seat motors and the seat heater wiring looks identical to the wiring in my car. I am still trying to understand the wiring for the lumbar supports (each seat has an upper and lower lumbar support) and the adjustable side bolsters.

I am not attempting to enable the seat memory. I don’t have the controls and I am the only person who drives the car regularly. I retrofitted memory seats in my 986. I like the functionality, but I rarely use the features.

My mechanic had an E55 AMG. Although I haven’t driven one I understand your assessment of it’s capabilities.
