2002 CLk 430 head rest has been reset and still wont go down. When i press the headrest up button i do not hear a click. although i do hear the punp running. I had replaced the battery a few weeks ago. and not sure if i used it sence.
If the pump can be heard either there is not enough power to operate & its got nothing with the battery condition once the engine has been started. Look for any oil seals not being able to hold the fluid inside due to the pressure. Definitely have to ensure that that the pump has sufficient power to operate, or some object is acting as a block which will to replaced appropriately. Also its not engaging the lock as it should which could be the root cause, since this process will be effective only after once the lock is engaged..............sodeep
With the soft top down. Take the allen hex head wrench out of the trunk by the spare tire. The wrench is about a 3/16 allen about 8 inches long
insert the wrench along the seam facing down along side the rear head rest, left side you'll see a orientation groove near the seam left side.
Align wrench with seam insert wrench down with some pressure
press wrench down firmly and hold
press head rest down and hold
pull wrench out and take weight off headrest
Repeat for other side
Hi,
It's already solved by an expert named denmar 2222 :-
There is a reset port about 12 in below each headrest. The port is hard
to find, but you can actually glimpse it with good light and/or a
flashlight and some head/neck contortion. When facing forward the port
is on the left side of each headrest. The port is oval in shape, about
4mm x 8mm, positioned about 10 mm forward of the support post and about
5mm to its left. Essentially, its an oval hole in black sheet metal.
Mercedes mentions an allen key tool included with the car, but you can
use a very long screwdriver or, preferably, a metal shishkabob barbecue
skewer (by far the best) to reset the mechanism. Slide the tool
(skewer, screw driver or allen key) straight down along the side of the
headreast and then very carefully angle the tip forward and to the left
(of car) to go into the port. Again, you can see this if you try. Push
down on the spring under the port and hold down while you push down
(Hard) on the headrest to its full reset position. Then remove the
tool. Voila!
Before the reset, the top would not go down. After the reset, no problems.
Hope i helped you.
