I have seen a few pinout lists for MB wiring harnesses but not for the seats. If you are handy with a DVM you can determine power/gound. Also MB generally follows color coding conventions.

i have a crappy, blurred one. i will try to find a clearer one when I'm at work
if I can remember. it may be a day or two. if you can't wait, try getting a
month subscription to AllData. only about $3-4 a week, I recall. then, while
you have access, download all the diagrams and data you can.

Hello everyone, I’ve been trying to figure out the pinout for the 14-pin connector (A 221 870 50 26) from the seat module. I reviewed the document attached in this thread, but I couldn’t fully understand how the pins are assigned. I’m specifically looking for a clear explanation of which pins correspond to power (positive and ground) and any signal lines (e.g., CAN). Does anyone have a more detailed breakdown or a simpler way to explain it? Thanks in advance for your help!

I’m trying to adapt these seats into another car, so I need to figure out the pinout for the 14-pin connector—mainly the power (positive and ground) and any signal wires (CAN or others).
Let me know if more information is needed. Thanks again for your help!

Thank you for pointing me to the MB EPC!
I found the exact module at nemigaparts.com/cat_spares/epc/mercedes/1/fg/171442/66v/91/090/, the part number is A 21 187 040 85.
Now, I need help understanding the detailed pinout for the connectors of this module. My goal is to evaluate the possibility of adapting these seats into a non-Mercedes vehicle while maintaining the seat adjustment functions and memory features. If anyone has a clear breakdown of the pin functions or resources that could help, I’d greatly appreciate it.
Thanks again for all the support!
