2002 e320 - Bad Seat Switch?
Driver's Seat Switch: When trying to move the seat bottom back, sometimes it goes back and sometimes it goes forward! Does this sound like a bad switch?
If it is a bad switch, is it worth trying to clean, or just spring for a new one?
Thanks.

Do a search here. I thought I read it here before. By moving your seat all the way forward it resets something and the seat should work again.

It sounds like the switch to me; first try the re-set method (either run it all the way forward, all the way back, or both). If that doesn't fix it then get a price for a new one, and if you think that it is too expensive, try to clean it.

Mine does the samething on the passenger side. I don't use the controls on the drivers side. I just use the seat memory. I just use the memory on the passenger side to get the seat to where I want it. I will try the all the forward reset tip next time. But does this fix it for a while or is it just a one time thing?

I have been having the same issues with my driver's seat as well. The "moving forward trick" does fix sometimes. My main issue, though is that my back-rest and the up/down recliner won't adjust at all unless I use the memory buttons. I was thinking if it was the switch, then the memory buttons should not function at all!!!!!
