Hi All.
I have a couple of queries for forum members on here - both related to the title.
1) I am trying to find a replacement drivers side door/seat control module for my CL500 (2005 model). The part number on the existing one is: 215-821-12-51. Does anyone have any idea where I could search to find one?
I naively ordered what I thought was the right one a few months ago, but turns out it was for a LHD car, so when I fitted it only the passenger side features worked. I'm not getting a whole lot of luck searching that part number online either, so I wonder if the part has been upgraded and the number has changed??
2) Second question I have is - how the hell do you quickly/easily unhook the electrical plugs from these units? When doing the replacement I mentioned above - some were easy, and some were almost impossible to remove. I reluctantly had to resort to using pliers and in doing so bent some of the plastic plugs. I'm thinking there must be some sort of special tool to do this? I bought a set of picks/hooks off amazon - but no luck using those. Maybe there is an order in which you are supposed to release them?

post your vin and I will list you the right module
as said by a member here, might need programming anyway
then, if you imagine maintaining your car with a MB system you are dreaming
you might want to get one, msg me
and no there is no special trick to unplug
just use a tiny screwdriver to help if stuck
