The door controls dont work. When I press the seat heater light comes on but does not stay on. So I figured not the door control since it must have power. What about fuses or any type of modules? Seat was put all the way back and down and left there for several days. When returned it would not move at all. difficult to look under the seat since it is pushed down.

    A proper diagnosis by a reputable MB dealer or independent MB repair shop will be needed to determine what has failed. The master switch, the relay(s), the seat motor(s)...any of those could be the problem.
