Driver seat not working

I have an issue with my driver seat not moving and the heat buttons not working. I pressed memory 1 to adjust my seat. Seat went back too far (not sure why). I pressed the (E) button then tried to move the seat back to my position. None of the seat buttons would work. I press the heat button and the red light comes on but when I remove my finger if goes off. Anyone know if there is a reset? Or what may bring it back to life?

You can always disconnect and reconnect the battery or pull the fuse for the seat.

Please provide a bit more clarification, sounds like you are saying the Memory 1 and E (Ergonomic) buttons work, but heat and other buttons do not. Try it with the engine running first and key in position 2 (engine off) to see if anything works.

Sorry about that, The seat buttons stop working. According to the fuse chart I there are two fuses for the seat. I never checked the back fuse panel under the rear seat. That's were the problem was...I replaced the f 71 (25) fuse and it working again.

Glad it was as simple as a fuse.

I was alluding to not checking the fuses first.

But nice background on your moniker anyway!

Is this on a W220? Or on a C300? This is a W220 Forum...
