Boy thinks the glass has fallen off the arm. Driver window had failed last year and we screwed around with it. It might have a wiring issue. Rear windows are the ones not going up or down. Weather around there is -40 much of the time, so he has not opened it up to really know.
I pulled the regulators from the W115 and found that the motors would fail out, but the gearing part was still good. Except one. Electric motors were pretty standard, so could swap around. I assume the motors for other models could work. If I can snag them from PnP, that would be useful, but would need to know what model had compatible motors. Since I am 900 miles away from the car, I was wondering mean time between failure for systems was. The likelihood of motor, regulator, or other part being prime cause so the parts are on deck so he does not need to drive around waiting for the parts or to solve the problem. Car has the original biodegradable harness. CEL has been illuminated since he got the car, but it clears long enough to pass emissions. There are a few spots were the insulation is gone, and the thing needs replaced. I was wondering what replacement harness costs. If it is reasonable, I would just get him one for his birthday. He has enough idiots he lives with who can help him install clay 2002 s430 - Victor, a Stately & well tailored chap 1974 450sl - Frosch - Two tone green 1976 300D - Blei Vanst - it looks silvery 1972 220D - Gump - She was green, simple and ran 1995 E300D - Gave her life to save me against a Dame in a SUV POS 1987 SDL - Beware Nigerian Scammers On Feb 28, 2016, at 5:25 PM, Kaleb C.
