87 300e
i have the same year and had the same issue. i thought i cause it when i tried pulling out my car phone. it fixed itself one day 
made for fun stories though. I picked my friend up to take them somewhere, and they tried to move their seat and asked why it wasnt moving. i said "hold on" pulled over and opened my door and said "go ahead" it was fun

hahahahahaaa...i would have died laughing...to be honest my seats,windows and wipers were not working untill this evening....I had exposed radio wires in my console so I taped them up to see if my "comfort" fuse would hold up(it kept on blowing before) and it did, but I encoutered a new problem as I explained above. So if anybody else have or had my problem..if you care to let some light in on this issue..I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Andre.

89 300TE, and 68 280sel
I saw this happen on a 190E, it turned out to be the wires started to break down at the hinge point... if all else fails check the current from console switch to the window motor wires.

81 300D, 83 380SEC, 92 300E
This might not even be relevant since it was with my 380SEC. But the Seats would only adjust with the door open. I found a fuse that wasn't making contact (I believe it was for the courtesy lights and whatever else is on That circuit.) I cleaned the contacts for all the fuses at that time since they all had a bit of corrosion. And after that my seats started to adjust with the door closed. I am not sure if that was the fix or if it was coincidence.
