Front Seat Power Adjust problems of the 2001 Mercedes Benz C320

Power control seat & steering column module/regulator went out & before it did it use to drain the battery where car wouldnt start if sat for less than 24hrs, so had to unplug but now the entire system doesnt work plugged in. I can barely reach the pedals to drive properly, this is a safety hazard & needs to be a recall. It also needs to be a way to manually adjust. Thank you.

Mercedes benz C320 2001 model. Power seat module shorts and drains battery. The constant draw off the system could at some point, cause a fire, while driving or over night in garage. 2 twice it was failed within a 1 yr time frame. Dealer charge $1000. 00 to fix the problem only to have it happen again. Dealer would not supply old part for inspection.

We own a 2001 mercedes C320 and have had several problems with the electrical systems all related to the power seat assemblies draining the battery over night. We have had them replaced by the dealer, first time was under warranty, and now- just about a year or so later, same problem. If we unplug the power seats, the batter does not drain. . Read more...

The power seat control units drain the battery, as they turn on and off during extended periods of rest.

I have a 2001 mercedes C320 which I can't really drive anymore because the battery drains every day, the problem is the power seat controller, it drains the battery really quickly.

: the contact stated the vehicle failed to start. Upon inspection the dealership determined the power adjust on the seat controls failed to turn off, which caused the battery to completely discharge. The seat controls need to be replaced.
