Re: [MBZ] W126 300SD power seats almost done!
Hi, Dennis. I didn't realize you were referring to the color of the seat and not the color code on the wiring! DUH! My dad says that he can't distinguish the color of the new seats with the old ones, and this was with the old passenger's seat still in place. Noone else has looked at the seats since we started the job. Kevin in Hillsboro Oregon 1983 300SD 284K miles, Ursula
Re: [MBZ] W126 300SD power seats almost done!
When are you coming to this side of the hills? I need to offload enough parts for you to build a turbo genset. Otherwise the pieces will go to the dump. It's the time/vs money trap. I had time but no money. Now I have a job again, but no time. It couldn't be before xmas, and I don't know if we'll even get over there yet. -- Jim

Re: [MBZ] W126 300SD power seats almost done!
Well, i'll have to take a "look" at things to see where the pins are "draping." They've been hanging around for a long time in Dennis's garage and who knows how long at the original place from where they were shipped, so who knows what's really up or down. Hopefully, they're "draping the right way so I can place them in the connector shell and mount it before putting the seat into the car. We'll "SEE how it goes tomorrow.

Re: [MBZ] W126 300SD power seats almost done!
I do have another connector shell for the seat end, but there's no way to know the proper color code when putting the different pins into the good connector. Is there a way to do this? Do you just take the wires off all of the motors on the junkyard seat and hook them up to yours? You make it match the other seat, if one of yours is all that is broken. The connectors come apart easily, and if you don't screw around they go back together right with no problems. The pins 'drape' where they should go. -- Jim

Jim, When are you coming to this side of the hills? I need to offload enough parts for you to build a turbo genset. Otherwise the pieces will go to the dump. Going to get rid of all the old Benz stuff. Put 2 300CD's on Craigslist along with the 450SL, to my surprise the 450 went.

If the connector shell is broken (at the seat end) just replace it with another one. The parts that hang off the wiring harnesses are separately available through your normal parts channel. I just use junkyard ones, of course. Unless you mean the mate that's part of the seat assembly itself is broken. Even that might be swappable with your old one.

Re: [MBZ] W126 300SD power seats almost done!
Kevin, I'm with Jim, I would have thought you could use the plastic connector case from the old seat and just plug the new seat wiring into it. So was the color match to your likingremembering your Dad may stretch the truth? Hope they work well for you and outlast the car.

Hello everyone! Now that I have found some wonderful matching seats for my 300SD for a wonderful price (thanks dennis T), I was ready to tackle the project of r&r-ing them. I couldn't move the seats forward to get at the rear bolts in the conventional way due to bad switches and bad drive cables in the case of the driver's seat. I had to use a 1/4" drive 3/8" 9mm? socket to get under the runner and get a bite on them which I'm happy to say worked well although time consuming!! The driver's seat went in and since it worked ok, I was able to move the seat in the appropriate direction to line up the holes and install the bolts. It's now road ready, at least for the driver! I have to sit on the floor board until Dad and I tackle the passenger's side tomorrow hahahahaha! I got that seat out as well, but since the connector shell was broken, we've decided to solder the wires already in the connector to those on the seat using the color code. Daylight ran out, so it's on hold for tomorrow. Then, it's off for a test drive on the cushy seats! Yeah!
