Question My Mercedes Benz CLK 320 is beautiful inside,& out but the seat is not moving?

ok i am loving mi new red benz !

loving it so much already but within one week the seat is not going back and i am not minding to invest$ in it,at all so what is feasibly the problem?
i am hearing from on facebook a Benz Guy(mechanic over 35 years)saying to me just the motor is dead,involving the seat,etc. or a fuse. So has anyone else had the same issue with the seat moving
frontward,with their benz?

I will be posting my New pre-owned cherry red benz soon.
I Just want this small issue fix asap.


Gracia. adios.

Check the fuses in the trunk first. Its a common problem but trouble is the fuse will blow more frequently as the motor is on the way out. Still under $100 ta DIY the seat motor.

Just do a search and you will find that this has been discussed many many times...It's usually a fuse in the truck but the blown fuse is usually an indication of a bad middle motor. If it keeps blowing fuses, get a new motor while the old one is still working. Easiest way to get to motor is to just remove seat (4 bolts). If you wait for seat motor to die, you probably won't be able to adjust seat to get to bolts and then it's a pain in the *** job (able to do but much more work in tight quarters).

There are 3 motors. It's the middle motor that is always the problem.

Gracia. adios.
My passenger seat would not move, ended up being a fuse bad in the trunk. A quick change and it was good as new.

The blown fuses are an indication that the motor is on the way out.
