A Klasse massage chair malfunction

My 2004 Mercedes A Klasse with a gasoline engine has a problem. The massage chair feature isn't working. A diagnostic scan showed an error code for the seat switch. I think it might be a defective cable or plug connection. Has anyone else had a similar electrical issue with their seats, especially the massage function? Initial repair estimates are around 95€.

I think I had the same thing happen with my A Klasse. The massage chair stopped working. I had a look at the seat switch itself. Have you checked to see if the connector is properly seated in the switch? It's a common issue and might be an easy fix. I think it could be a loose wire. Is the error code you got specific about the seat switch or is it a more general error?

Thank you for your response. The error code points specifically to the seat switch. Could you tell me more about inspecting the connector? Are there any precautions I should take?

Yes, my error was also very specific. I wouldn't recommend fiddling too much with the electrics yourself if you are not sure what you are doing. I ended up taking it to a workshop. They confirmed it was a loose wire in the seat switch connector, and they re-seated it properly. It's probably best to have a professional look at it.

I appreciate the confirmation and advice. Given the potential complexities and the risk of making the issue worse, I'll take your advice and go to a workshop. Thank you for sharing your experience and guiding me.
