I have a 2003 Mercedes c240 and my seat won't move foward or backwards works my handle to move fowards and back isn't letting me move. The handle isnt powered so it wont be the fuse. Anybody can help?

You have to take the motor off and use one of the flex shafts in an electric drill. Lube the track with wd40 before doing that to see if the seat will move before you take out the motor.

if going backward is working,and foward is not,, easy
,1st determine what is defective-so u know what to replace/repair-2 things only ,[1-switch or 2- motor under d seat]
by presing the backward swicth,, you can hear the sound of the motor running and u can see the seat is going backward...
1-now by pressing the foward switch, and you hear the motor running but not that strong like the rear ..and the seat move an inche /a little and stop,,.then u have a defect weak motor,
2- now by pressing the foward swicth and u dont hear any motor running then the switch is most likely defective
defective switch -repair- spray contact cleaner,remove cover switch,penetrate inside
defective motor-repair-remove motor replace inside carbon,,.chiepest way not to spend to much money..
i suggest even once a month,lubricate all power seat/even not powerseat/,door hinges/.trunk door/.power antenna./ .by spraying lubricating oil,. for maintanace,..you can save a lot..

The seat has a transmission to move the seat up, down, foward , & back. Screw jacks adjust the seat up & down. Cables move the seat forward & back. The cable it seems had to break or the end of the cable has rounded out. Possibly the cable rounded out the seat it rides in the transimission housing too. You will need to remove the seat to find out

will or wont move foward?
you can get to the wiring block under seat. isolate wiring from motor 1 of three, (middle motor- foward back, front motor - front seat base up / down, back motor - back seat base up /down) does it work of mem. buttons? or when u lean seat foward (entry assist).

If the seat has a lever to allow entry to rear seat the fnt seat back and seat roll foward[2 door jeep]. Move the seat back back to normal and push loose seat all the way foward and then all the way back.let me know if that helps

motor in the seat is bad

The only way to solve this issue is to extract the seat and inspect. The front and back movement is different from the other actions that the seat may be able to do...

Look for damaged, dirty and miss aligned track components.

check to see if anything is jammed in the tracks coins have away of finding there way there

checkm the fuse box for a blown fuse hope this helps regards Jim

check the wire if you hear no sound when you move foward or backward you probably got a bad switch ckeck that out hope it help fixya our post
