Connecting battery charger to C32
I looked in the newby thread but didn't find the answer.
It appears I've got the dreaded seat module battery drain, but it's going to be a little while before I can get it fixed. As an interim solution, I got a battery charger. What I'm wondering is whether I should connect it directly to the batter or to the little tab under the red door that you're supposed to use for jumping the car? Any Ideas?
On another subject, my humble little AMG got EuroSunday Bay Area car of the month. Check it out here: http://eurosunday.net/bay

Just charge your battery and unplug the seat control module. It's directly under the seats and has 2-3 plugs going into it. Unplug them and it should stop the drain at least till you get it fixed. If you keep draining the battery and hooking it up to your charger, you could end up frying your alternator and battery which is another added expense.
Congrats on the car of the month!

NEVER charge the car through the jump terminals...............disconnect the ground and positive cables on the battery itsself and charge JUST the battery.

you don't need to buy a battery charger. Autozone will charge your battery for free. Also there's a seat control module fix on my sig, if your relatively decent with electrics.
