Good morning!
I'm hoping to get pointed in the right direction here. 2005 SL65 AMG. Both batteries died over the winter and they've since been replaced with new and tested out fine. Almost everything in the auto didn't function at first. For example, the instrumentation panel wasn't illuminated and the same for the gauges, seats didn't work and top didn't come down. After driving it for a bit everything came back to normal (I think) except for the passenger side seat adjustments. In looking at the fuse panel schematics, I see a fuse for the seat adjustment, Left (which works fine) and for the seat adjustment control unit. Is there not a fuse for the right seat?

Thanks in advance as I'm new to MB.
