Fuse location for driver side heated seat

Hi, the driver side heated seat (RHD vehicle) is not working and the fuse location diagrams are confusing so was wondering of anyone is able to help identifying which fuse slot is it?

I know the fuse is a 30A fuse for the front heated seats.


The car is a W213 E220d 2018 model year

Look at the fuse block located in the trunk. It should be #453. That's the location for a US model.
The Operators Manual for your car will also shoe the location.

Car is a UK model so driver seat is on the right. And I've checked what I think was #453, isn't that a mini 30A fuse? Since the slot looks like it doesn't have 2 pin ports?

If you could help me pinpoint the exact port on the picture that'd be much appreciated.

One at a time pull each fuse to see if it is blown.

Here's the crazy thing dude, someone (probably a corrupt mechanic) seemed to have tampered with it. So the passenger side heated seat wasn't initially working but I managed to pinpoint the missing fuse and buy a set to remedy that.

So my suspicions are the driver side has also been tampered with and someone dodgy must have removed it. But the diagram for the rear fuse box is so confusing unlike the LHS footwell one so I'm not sure which slot it is.

Bit of an annoying situation!

I've checked that thread, still having difficulties pinpointing the fuse. All the diagrams say it's a 30A fuse and just to let you know that the 30A fuse you see on the picture I sent, ignore it as I placed that there to check but that one didn't work.

Your fuse panel is different than mine as is the diagram. All I can suggest is to try a fuse in slot 452.
My seats work. I have a fuse in 252 and none in 253.

252 & 253?

Don't you mean 452 & 453?

You made me look around for those fuse slots you quoted and I didn't find anything so was confused what you exactly meant.

So I've connected the fuses and now the driver side heated seat works but the backrest heater doesn't work.

I'm just gonna assume it's faulty

Thanks for the help regardless

It would be helpful to others if you posted just what you did to get it working.
