Pete, this is very informative, great video, showing step by step how to remove the seat, even without the power. Thank you for sharing this with W140 lovers
Thanks for the wire reference at time index 6:30 showing how to "jump start" the power seat. The r129 seats have a manual override for the forward/back seat movement in the form of a roller you can turn by hand to move the seat. Seems odd there isn't something similar on the w140.
Your experience getting to more advanced levels why don’t you use it and open ur shop to public we really have very few shops that work on those cars here in Florida But I still do enjoy and appreciate your videos and you trying to share this knowledge
Pete, which colored wires will move the backrest part of the seat, when hot wired directly with the battery? I purchased a seat, which is in lay down position 180 degrees and need to bring the backrest to a normal sitting position. which would be 90 degrees.
Take off the back section of seat. There are two screws on the very bottom of the back side of seat where the pocket is. Take out two screws and pull up and out. You can then access the inside of the back of seat and the headrest poles.
