Mercedes electric headrest adjustment faulty? Step by step guide to fix.

[@BenzAddiction]

I am sure this will help some Benz owners to find the fault and fix it as I know the non-functional headrest adjustment is a common issue across most early 2000 Mercedes-Benz. Cheers. Max

Your thinking process is so logical. Can't imagine if you bring to mb dealer. Do you use mb xentry for diagnosis or your common sense? Amazing presentation as always 💯

Thanks Brian. I sometimes use ObdII scanner and other times, MB star for more detailed diagnosis.

Great information about the relevant connector and wires! Luckily my headrests work as they should but one never knows when this will come in handy.

Very true, thank you.

Man what the hell are you spying on me ? The headrest on my CLK 500 just got stuck last week and you upload this video ! Thx a lot, gonna try this !

[@BenzAddiction]

Ha ha, yes this is a typical issue. Happens every now and then.

[@allanriches9381]

that was an easy fix, well done. A couple of things, bloody Mercedes could have used coloured screws for the base of the back rest, the wiring from the motor looks like it is close to the head of the spring, could be a pinch point, also I have sprayed my headrest rods with a bit of silicone spray just to make it a bit easier to go up and down.

Great tips, thanks Allan 😊

Thanks !! I have an issue with the ac in my clk500 passenger side ac is cold but on the driver side the ac just push some ambient air. it is warmer than the other side. I think it a flap issue but I dont know where it is.. Could you help me for that and maybe make a video on this issue ? Thanks again

[@BenzAddiction]

I have plans on this, it is not an easy fix, would be a long video.

My headrest can go up but not down. Goes down if I pull the tab to fold the seat up and wait but then revert back to high position.. Any idea why it wont go down using the button on the door?

[@BenzAddiction]

Same problem I had.

My 2007 C280 had this issue, the height was maxed out and now it’s fixed, thanks for this video

Do you know how to change the folding front seat cable on one of these cars

[@BenzAddiction]

Sorry, I have never tried it.
