2003 sl 500
Question 2003 sl500 problems

Hello everyone,
I am new to your forum and would like some help please. I have just bought a 2003 sl 500 and my seat lumbars don't work and my automatic trunk close button does not work. If I close my trunk slow it does close on its own. I brought it to Benz dealer ship and they said it was my pump? I do not want to spend 1400.00 to fix for seat lumbar and trunk auto close. Is there a way around this like fuse etc.. When I push the buttons below my seat I do hear clicking sounds but as noted before nothing happen but red light coming on for massage. I don't trust dealership as before when I owned a 2001 s600 they always gave me the run around till I looked at your forum for a fix. I thank you all for always helping me in the past and now that I am a member I can ask questions. If it is a fuse please tell me where it might be located.
Thank you for your time in this matter,
Basilica1

Welcome to MBWorld. Sorry to hear about your issue. I'd suggest posting it on the R230 subforum as some other R230 owner might have ran into this same issue and has a solution.

Good luck!
