E550 Cab
First World Problem - No doubt

I have a 2014 E550 Cabriolet and both the driver and passenger front seat. - Seat Belt "Valet" have stopped working ( I tried the switch on the central console )

I think I saw a PRESAFE error warning on the dash recently and the belts no longer hug you as you start the car - well maybe they do but since the Valet has gone home early I can't be sure — Ive checked all the screens on the Dash and Head Unit looking for a "reset" option but I can't find anything — IS there a reset switch / Check the fuse / or other way I can get these working agin - Ive only had the car under a month so I'm trying to get used to allies eccentricities

TIA Mark

High likelihood it’s the control unit in each side and it’s an easy fix. Buy a used control unit and don’t try and change the actual motor, that’s likely still in perfect condition. That was my mistake 2 years ago.

The part number is A2079004400 for drivers side. Not sure on passenger side. It is a drop in replacement, no rewiring or removing of extensive screws or door paneling. The control units are accessed from behind the carpetted side paneling in the trunk.

One for each side is my understanding.

Peter. — many thanks I invested in an Icarsoft MB V3 and it displayed a whole bunch of fails when I scanned the car - I erased them all and none of them came back — Also Seat Valet has returned to work - so everything 100% …… for now
