    This is typically a defective switch. The motor still works or the seat would not move, the switch just reverses the polarity so the same electric motor runs in reverse.

    you will need to determine if it is the switch or the motor, which you can test if you have a voltmeter. if
    your test finds a bad switch, you can modify a Mercedes
    seat switch that work/fits just fine (part 1248208810).
