Default Passenger seat blowing too many fuses and not working!

Okay so My 02 CLK55 is haveing problems again. I installed the new phone configuration since my original one was out of date and no longer working, however my front passenger seat is now having problems. In the past month I have taken it to the dealership THREE times for a blown fuse. I have a feeling that there is other problems but they insist it is just a blown fuse and they dont know why it is doing this. The seat base will go up and down but not forwards and backwards. I just replaced the module and stuff two months ago from where the seat base would not even move. Some one PLEASE help because I am tired of having to hang out at the dealership!

so was it fuse 8 or 9 in the trunk? (25 amperes).

the common cause of this is if the motor (fore/aft, backrest, etc) is using high current. try to find out which one. sometimes the plastic cover melts which dis-align the armature and creates high temperature.

Looks like its number 9. What can be done to resolve this issue other than replacing the fuse every month? THANKS for your help!!
