Are these white and blue wires live and neutral? (Seat Motor)
Hey guys
Im pretty sure they are but want to double check, are the thick blue and white wires on this seat recliner motor live and neutral?
Iv got a recliner motor that only moves one way
I might need to manually reverse power to the motor directly with a jump starter if a 'seat position reset' doesn't work.
For anyone this might help, They were the live and neutral.
I removed plug (all the wires you see are connected to the same plug)
Then connected electrical wire directly to the motors live and neutral pins (big ones)
Put a piece of cardboard in-between wires to act as a barrier to stop wires accidentally touching
Then it was just a case of turning on my 12v jump starter
Then I was able to power my seat motor both ways by touching the wires onto the live and neutral (reversing the wires for each direction)
So I managed to get my seat backrest into good position and unplugged the motor so it cant move again! lol
Now iv gotta look into a new seat module as I know my motor works!
I also know my door switch works because I can hear and feel the motor click when its pressed.

Assuming thats the Mercedes star reader? I was thinking about taking it to a specialist with the expensive star scanner.
Guess it worth a go! Thanks for the advice
