W202 electrics problem - help!

[Peterhough]

C200 Elegance auto 1997

I have had an escalating series of electrical problems.

First symptom was an intermittently working blower. No pattern to it failing - sometimes worked straight away, other times came on unexpectedly during journey. Other times would not work at all and is now constantly off.

At the same time, passenger front window would only go down if rear door window switch was activated at the same time. Window would not go down on own switch.

Window is now stuck in down position, no clicking from window motor, no combination of window switch activation will shift it. Other three windows, sunroof, all other electrics work fine. Except ...

Intermittent wipe shows same symptoms as blower, except continues to work intermittently or comes on unexpectedly. Had a new stalk recently to cure different problem and everything worked fine for months after that.

I'm at my wit's end with this. Checked all fuses. Is there anything common to these three systems (but then why would three windows work and one not??)

Re the heater blower the carbon brushes have worn out,,you can get replacement from Ebay, the reason why it would start up on a drive was the incoming air forced the fan to turn and start.

The motor in the rear door is at fault I would think re the windows

A bad connection in the wiper relay could explain that

as above is what i would have said

you may get a second hand window motor from a scrap yard keep the cost s down
if you need to get the window up remove door card and put it up by hand or put a direct feed to the motor

the wiper issue is a common one on older w202 they just wear out

and the bushes can be bought on ebay a few quid and fitted look on line like you tube for a video or how to on this topic


i know when a lot of small things start it can get annoying but tackle one job at a time and you will get their

Thanks guys - this may be a daft question but is the door lining easy enough to get off?
