Multifunction seat issue

2015 GL350

I need help. I can not find any leaks. My multifunction seats work for about 1 minute and then the system cuts off. If you power cycle the vehicle they work again for about a minute. Any suggestions?

It sounds like the seat control module is crashing rapidly after powering it up.

Use a LAUNCH scanner for MB to read the chassis faults.

Seats have SRS safety functions integrated so that means disconnect all power before working on the seat

I finally found the problem. Replace the lines in both seats for $30 and everything works fine now. The issues was hidden by a glue on fabric and wasnt obvious until i hit it with a little soapy water.
