S500 with quad seating
I bought a 200 s500 58k mi, however when I bought it the drivers rear seat did not adjust. Turns out the drivers rear door does not auto close, the window doesn't go down (from rear or front door switches) and the seat heaters and seat adjustment do not work. Seems I have ni power to the door. I havent gotten a service manual yet so I don't know fuse layout. I pulled each of the fuses from under the rear passenger seat all were good. Any ideas ?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Ok..there is a module that is attached to the vacuum pump in the rear that controls a lot of this stuff. It may be a fuse but it may also be part of the board in the pump module. Don't even try to run it down untill you get a manual...it IS complicated.

Thanks, I have an appointment for middle of next week to get it looked at. I really wouldn't care since I don't sit in that seat, However I went to get my windows tinted today and they couldn't do that one window until they can get it down. I now have 4 done with this one window pending....

Get a fuse tester and check your fuse box that is under the back seat. There's a fuse there that controls the seat and windows. I cant remember which one. You could also just do a visual check to see which fuse is blown and replace with the same rated fuse. There are 2 fuse boxes under the hood on both corners by the windshield. If you don't see any blown fuse dont try to mess with it. Might blow something else in the process.

Thanks for the tip. I get back in there and look again. I did notice that there is only one fuse box under the back seats and it's on the passenger side. I did check those under the passenger seat and did not see any issues in the 2 boxes in the engine compartment. Didn't have the guts to remove and check those.
