Look for a thread already here about the seat controller fix. There are pictures, a how to, etc...

Condensed version, look under seats and find the plug with 3 wires: red, brown and black. Cut the red, splice it into the black. No more battery drain and your seats will still move. Although they will only move with the ignition on. Therefore, the lazy person feature will not work anymore.

This is from the "How to/Instructions" sticky at the top of the C32/C55 forum.

https://mbworld.org/forums/c32-amg-c...oller-fix.html

It will show you how to fix the seat controller for under $5, instead of the $700/side the dealer will want from you.

By the way, the search function will help you find almost every answer you would need.
