[MBZ] 1985 300CD Seat locking problem solved, sort of...

2006-05-16 Thread andrew strasfogel

Many thanks to Marshall and Jim for their assistance in solving the case of
the floppy seat backs in her 1985 300CD.

Anyway, this morning I discovered that I can manually move the locking
hardware on the inside of each bucket seat into the lock position with the
engine running, and the seats then stay locked safely while we are driving!
Each seat back unlocks properly when a door is opened or the release button
on the side of the chair is pressed, but the linkages will not move by
themselves into the locking position (although they will stay there once I
slide the hooked lever into place).  Is it possible there is a problem in
the locking circuit only?

BTW, I'd appreciate it if someone could send me Marshall's message
containing the links to the manual pages as i accidentally deleted it.  :((
