2001 C320 Seat Module - From Where?
Hi,
If you're still on the forum and read it, can you please tell me from where you got the seat modules for $100?
My modules were draining battery, so I put a switch on the drivers side and a plug pull on the passenger side.
Now the driver's side module is completely dead and won't work at all.
Thanks.

c320
I have a 2002 Mercedes C320. My battery is dead after seating overnight. Took the car to the Austin MB dealership to diagnose the problem. I was told that the power seat motor is draining my battery. Both seats. Come to find out that many other people have experienced the same problem.
I called Mercedes USA and they said that since the car is out of warranty, there is not much they can do. That is bull!! Obviously since so many people with this car model have the same problem, it has to be a manufacturer fault.
I was wondering how many people need to experience this problem before Mercedes will admit that they have a bad component on this model.
I figured,if enough people call and tell MB that they have this same problem, they will realize that this is a defective part and they will issue a recall and pay for necessary repairs.
Please call Mercedes USA and report this problem. 1-800-FOR-MERCEDES (1-800-367-6372) or 201-476-6200

At this time MB doesn't care about such problems and will never admit it. They know that elite will keep on buying high end MBs so they don't have to worry about business.
I found out the best way to keep the seat modules and save some bucks was to put a switch under the seat. The switch is always off, disconnecting the battery to the module, so there's no drain. When you need to move the seats or steering, push the switch into on position, make the changes and switch if off again.
Down side is that the two programmed keys won't change seat and wheel settings when you click to open.
Good luck.
