Re: [MBZ] Window switch primer

2008-02-19 Thread John Freer
just looked at a 2001 ML320 today where the RR rear switch would not
raise the window but the front switch did. Maybe it's a newer design.

 So, one bad switch will cause a non-functioning situation--is that right?
 Well then, I'd best take them apart--bummer.

[MBZ] Window switch primer

2008-02-18 Thread Zeitgeist
Hey, remind me whether the power window circuit requires both switches to be
fully operational in order for the window to function.   I don't have my CD
manual with me, so I can't check the diagram.  The motor works, but I can't
get the switches to initiate action.  I think there might be some funky
wiring in the bellows where they run through the door.

TIA

You either need to take the switches apart (do it in a plastic bag so 
when the parts fly all over they are contained) and clean them, or 
CHANGE YOUR FUSES!  One fuse operates cross-opposite windows.  The 
actual wiring is not clear as there are 3 or 4 wires going to each 
switch and some of them are common (power on the cross windows).  I 
tried tracing them once and gave up, it might be in the manual somewhere 
though.  The switches get all gunked up, a good cleaning restores 
functionality (usually).

Both switches have to be good in order for the _rear_ window
to work.

Yes, either front or rear switch being bad will prevent the
associated rear window from operating.

Hey, it's an easy job.
