electric window on a 2000 ML430 won't raise

[droplever]

I have the driver's window finally stuck down and will not come up. I do not hear the motor wanting to "click/thud" going up. I do hear it trying to go down(already in full down position).

I pulled the switch console to see if there is anything there to probe but am sure there was nothing spilled ove the switches in the past. The wiring connectors in the switch assembly are dedicated and I cannot swap them out to see if it is a switch problem.

Is it too much to attempt to remove the door panel(air bag present) and poke around. I would like to manually wind on the motor to get it "up" so i can drive it.

Hi this is quite a common problem on early mls a window switch pack should cure it.

does that mean to order the entire switch assembly that hold all the switches or a component? TIA, Ken

The whole lot as you cannot get the switches seperately

Hi

I've got it working - thank you!

The switch pack was bought on EBay for $65.00 rather than $133+tax at the dealer. It was easy to take apart and the new one went in without a problem.

Thank you! :
