W215 replace door control module
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?
To unhook them, you just click in the little lever that is at each connector. Pretty easy to do

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
