Ghost in my W124

[lenchoy]

Hi Guys,

My car is running very well and I was enjoying driving it today with all the windows down and the sunroof open. However over an hour period my windows and electric sunroof decided to close by themselves several times. I am at a loss as to what caused this. I have an old Clifford alarm that never closed the windows when I bought the car.

Any ideas. Otherwise I might have to send the guys in from Most Haunted

Does your car have total closure?? its quite possible it does have. try opening the door with the key but keep the key held in the open position if all the windows come down then yuo have, and its probably a fault with the control box which should be situated under the bench seat passenger side.

Its worth doing a system re set before anything else.

Thanks for the pointers. My car is a 1989 model.

I don't think it has total closure as I tried to shut my windows while holding the key in the lock postion in both the drivers door and the boot lock.

As for the system reset.....how do I do that then?

If it helps you, here's a pic of the total-closure (or "convenience module" on my '92 230CE): http://mx5ireland.com/members/frank/benz/DSC05823.JPG

I was told to reset that by removing the 5 connectors from it (three are standard plug-in, the other two have a sliding-cover type thing. Didn't solve my problem (when holding the key all the way to "lock", my windows and sunroof close, yet the sunroof continues on to "tilt" mode). I understand it's full of logic, ie. chips and transistors, so not sure how repairable it is
