The module is expensive I hear, don't know the exact numbers but consider this, it's a very common problem in the C320 (2001 and 2002) so there really isn't much diagnosis an experienced MB tech has to do. Also, unplugging a module and plugging in a new one for $456 labor, ouch, that was one high priced mechanic you have, makes a heck of a lot more money than I do, what is that, $900/hr.

its not just about plugging in a new module..they charge for diag and replacement,...a current draw test could be VERY time consuming..i know because i have lost my ass on some jobs and only charging 3 hrs of labor because i dont want to over charge the customer

todo: I have the same exact issue! In my case, the MB Svc Ctr - diagnosed the problem to both Driver & passenger seat modules. They have indicated to me that there is about 2AMP drain on a newly installed battery. Cost to replace the modules is just about double of what you paid.

Wish I kenw a reliable & trustworth Mechanic Shop in GTA!!!

My 2001 C320 driver seat acts up all the time!! sometimes it does not go forwards and backwards (all the other items work fine, recline, up and down etc). Should I replace the power seat module? Does anyone have a part number?

SCAN UR CAR USING DAS AND U JUST CAN SOLVE UR CAR with correct procedure/

Hi,

I just replaced my battery in my C230K sports coupe. I called Mercedes Roadside Assistance. They will come out and replace it with no labor charge and do all of the reprogramming necessities including the radio code. All you pay for is the standard parts cost for the battery. I did tip the technician though.

Mercedes Roadside Assistance is good for the life of the vehicle.
