Ignore the idiocy and negotiate for a car that isn't vanilla/beige.

Re: [MBZ] power seat

[clay via Mercedes]

I did a BW check and it comes back that the Gen II use a relay, while the Gen I 
use line voltage to play with the seats.  I am going to try to use the guts 
from the Gen II to rebuild the Gen I

Check the BW forum, but if my memory serves me correctly the differences are 
significant due to the inclusion of the memory function in the Gen II controls.

Re: [MBZ] power seat question 1983 300SD

[kevin kraly]

The drive cable ends have a tendency to come loose from the housing which 
lets the square drive end of the spiral disengage from the hub.


What can be done about this?  Is it threaded and simply needs to be 
retightened to bring the end back into the hub?  I haven't mounted the seat 
yet, so I can just pull it out, flip it over, correct the problem and put it 
right back in for GOOD.  By the time I get this thing working, I'll be the 
official list expert on W126 power seats!
