Hi all, been signed up for a while and trying to educate myself about my car. W124 1995 E200, all running fairly smoothly, 170k, quite a bit thirstier than my previous E220 unfortunately but that's not the priority issue. The central locking and window electrics have suddenly gone nuts: started with windows randomly winding themselves down when parked; it has ended with no central locking working, windows having to be disconnected electrically, driver door unlockable (possibly due to mechanic's tampering), and the fuse that covers rear windows, seatbelt warning etc blowing and a smell of burning suggesting a short circuit. PO took out a couple of fuses it seems; door panels have been off before; sunroof not working (mechanically or electrically) and the fuse for that has been taken out too. Can anyone advise where to start looking please? - switch module near gearstick? comfort module (somewhere under back seats I hear?) thanks in advance. The goal is to get the locks and windows working... I see there are some similar problems listed but not any really close match. Any advice highly appreciated. Thank you.
