Mercedes G Klasse massage seat issue resolved

My 2004 Mercedes G Klasse with a gasoline engine has a massage seat malfunction. The diagnostic scan shows an error code. I suspect a defective cable or plug. Any guidance on the car upholstery and seat motor?

I had a similar problem with the massage setting in my old BMW 7 series. The error was in the memory, and the massage chair wasn't working. Have you checked the power supply to the seat motor? Mine was a loose connection in the fuse box related to the seat motor.

Thank you. Could you elaborate on the specific location of the fuse and how you diagnosed the loose connection? Was it a visual inspection, or did you use a multimeter to confirm the electrical continuity? Any detail regarding the power supply to the seat motor would be appreciated.

The fuse box was in the trunk for me. I checked it visually first, then used a multimeter to confirm no power. I'd also recommend checking the connector under the seat. If you are not comfortable doing that, paying 95€ to let the workshop take care of it may be the smartest move.

Thank you. I followed your recommendation and inspected the fuse and connector. The issue was a corroded connector under the seat. After cleaning the contacts, the massage function works. I appreciate your time and expertise. The repair cost of 95€ was avoided.
