Driver side headrest motor/servo operation access and diagram
Hello again,
Have one fault with my CLS 55 AMG. It is the headrest on driver side up and down position (controlled by seat switch topmost button) is not not moving up and down.
Initially I went to the control module. But have since changed direction to a (fuse?) or headrest motor/servo in the seat itself. The indication being a clicking sound under the dash board on the driver side that is exactly the same as the clicking sound on the passenger side (that works fine)
I need to find a diagram to find out if that line is fused. If not I need to find a replacement motor, I assume, to repair this non moving headrest.
That is the one and only thing that doesn't work. I would really appreciate it if anyone has dealt with this problem could share their experience and their fix. No rush, I am in no hurry. I just want to fix it right the first time, without damaging the seat back. Part numbers would also be helpful...
Any advice or diagrams would be greatly appreciated
Thanks very much
Dave

Would suggest you get a shop manual like Aldata DIY. It is indispensable to the proper care and maintenance of the car. You can get the subscription from any Autozone and it is detailed to the point of telling you parts numbers, time to change, and cost of replacement. It is by subscription and renewed every year.

That Aldata is OK, but it just shows how stuff is hooked up. I still have to find a way to test those pieces. I have to believe it is in the seat back. But this care is so pristine, I jus hate to break it open. I may just leave it where it is, unless I run across a Mercedes wrench that moonlights and knows what to do without destroying the seat...
Thank for the response... Dave
