What Causes a Mercedes Electric Seat to Suddenly Stop Working?

[MiguelDella]

Electric seat failure may be due to a damaged adjustment switch, a burnt-out adjustment motor, or an electrical circuit malfunction. Many cars are equipped with electrically adjustable seats, which have internal electric adjustment mechanisms. If these mechanisms are damaged, the seat will not be adjustable. Common faults with electric seats: 1. Electric seat jamming or seizing: The main cause is usually oxidation of the seat adjustment linkage or insufficient lubrication. 2. Sudden seat failure, unable to function normally: This is often caused by wiring issues. Check if there is a problem with the fuse and then inspect whether the seat motor is functioning properly. 3. Seat sometimes not moving fully into position during use: This situation is generally caused by blockage or lack of lubrication in the adjustment linkage or slide rails, leading to incomplete movement.
