w 210, E200 1997. windows problem

[zdravko200]

Hi,
could someone help me please?

I have w 210 1997, E200 (100 kW) for a year now. The front windows (together with power mirrors, door lamps, remote opening windows etc) haven't worked since we bought it. I was told to disconect battery for a 3 minutes because it probably get some memory problems. I did it several times, but everything that i said worked just for a day or two, and everything was stucked again. I don't know what to do any more. I went to service and they told me to change some windows modules. It is so expensive so I'm not sure about it. Power windows' motors is ok since it work for a while. I supose it is some electronical problem but which one? Is it really about this windows modules?

I would like to share problem with someone who have the same,similar or just know about that things. Is something broken or the car just should be reprogrammed or something?

Thank you sincerely

It will probably be the REAR door controller on one side or the other. Disconnect each one in turn to find the culprit.

dieselman is bang on.

the cheap fix is just to disconnect the rear window controllers inside the doors. if you do it one at a time you can find out which one is at fault and only have one not working!

OK, where are located those rear windows controllers? In drivers door? Do I have controllers in each door for each window? How does it look like?

The controllers in the rear doors get water in them, and are part of the motor , so just unplug it, you cannot mistake it.
