Did you check the plug under the seat? If connected, check the door panel connection. After all the continuity checks then I would use the other seat controller with the non functioning seat. The plug system is identical. There are videos for seat pad removal, a couple of 10mm bolts, as I recall!??
Good luck. Where in the world are you?

YouTube Tamango's channel. Benzworld has a sticky section that has additional videos as well as owner's advise like MBworld.
