2003 C32 AMG *driver power headrest not working*

Hi, thanks for taking the time to help me out.

My power headrest was working fine... and then intermittently it would work.. then not work... work then not work... and now finally... no matter when I try the switch the headrest doesn't work.

The passenger one works just fine.
Is there a separate fuse for each headrest, maybe the fuse went. (does anyone have a fuse panel diagram)

Other than that, all the electronics seem to function fine.

Something tells me there is an issue with the switch, but can someone tell me where is a good place to start? Thanks

Does your headrest still move when you adjust the angle of your seat back? If not, then it may be the motor of the headrest and not the switch.

I had to have the motor replaced in mine. It was working intermittently.

I took mine apart and found the solder joints at the motor broken. A simple tap with a soldering iron and it was fixed without buying any parts. I took pictures of the project and will post as a diy.
