Hi guys, newbie I'm afraid. Just bought a 99 c180 elegance and have elec problem as follows. Can anyone help.

Both front windows do not work from centre console switches, rear ones do from console, and neither mirror adjust works from console either. After checking fuse compartment it appears fuses/circuit may be common (fuses OK) any ideas? Haynes manual not very helpfull!

Disconnect both rear window motors by removing there fuse and see what happens to the operation of the front windows and mirror adjustment problem.

Thanks for replying Dec, tried your suggestion re fuses, unfortunately found fuse box a bit confusing, so went back to square 1 ensured all fuse good and in the right place correct value etc and cleaned with contact cleaner. The position now is left window and mirror adjustment now working but not the right hand side window and mirror. All else OK. Sorry for the delay, have to earn a crust over the weekend.

Do you know the whereabouts of a circuit diagram

I was thinking about this guy …here…read the whole tread but in particular Post #39… page 4 and 5
No diagrams that I know of for your car year, there are diagrams in the DIY section but the are for 1987 to1997, the electric set up in these cars keep changing every couple of years.

The fuse set up on mine is one fuse for two back windows and one fuse for two front windows, in boot, not sure about yours.

I would think dec that this has the same fault as the one in the link, and its a PCB solder job
