what does the puls botton do>? i cant feel anything when i push it, and also nothing when i push the + and -

well, you have a problem with the device.
pulse button starts a random pressure massage to your lower back and +/- switch regulates ergonomics of your seat.

Is this something that occurs often on these models?
can anyone tell me if they have any idea what it could be. I cant imagine its the seat nor switch, since it doesn't work on both sides
could it be a fuse?
in that case, anyone know where the fuse for the seat puls is located?

jobe

all fuses are in compartment behind passenger seat. remove the bottom plate to get to the fuse plate. check all if you don't now which.

how is your battery, does it go flat if car is not driven for a week?

Guys. take a look at the pic. I have the massage option dont I ? It just doesn't seem to work on both sides

Could be crimped air hoses, leaking air bladders, bad fuse, etc.

Likely will cost a lot of money to fix. I think these go out on a regular basis and sometimes die slowly, sometimes one side at a time.

Save your money for the occasioal real massage instead of funding your dealer! :^)

you started a few threads here on this same topic, erraticly turn back and forth.
just stick to one problem at the time and give some feedback on the outcome.
whats with the fuse, found it? changed it? what?

i have the same problem with both of my seats, stealer says its most likely a pinched or leaky air line under the seat. star diag. showed that the computer shut down the air compressor that supplies the air lines. I'm not going to pursue the issue as many other owners have said that the pulse is not that great and not worth spending the money to repair. if you suspect a leaky line it can be proven by having smoke injected into the feeder lines that supplies the seats to identify if it is a leaky hose.
if you do go ahead and have it repaired, please post the issue as I'm interested to see the exact cause as this is an issue with many sl55's, mine is a 2005.

Repaired mine, I think they were pinched cause no parts were charged.
They took off the back panels of the seats to repair it.

Cost $280 + tax

It could be the pump, mine is finished and I need to order another one
