[MBZ] W126 Door Latch

The driver’s door on my 350SDL has been having a hard time latching - that is, I have to slam it to get it to close completely. This just started a few days ago, and there’s nothing that’s happened to suggest something is broken. In all honesty, I’ve never had an issue with a door latch on a

Re: [MBZ] Rear Window

Max, does the W124 regulator use cables? I know the W140 does, but I thought everything before that was just the “scissors” arrangement with the sliding jaws? It’s been a while since I’ve been in the door of a W124, if that’s what we’re talking about. Dan > On Feb 21, 2017, at 6:29 AM, Max

Re: [MBZ] Rear Window

Larry, no ground in the door, just two wires. Try applying power both ways. There are mechanical reasons this could happen. Commonly a plastic slider fails. A cable and pulleys are also involved, cable could part. Make sure you don't have a dirty switch in the center console! -- Max Dillon

Re: [MBZ] Rear Window

Meh. I’ve been up since 5:00, my normal wake up time. This is on a W124? Let me know and I can give you some pointers about removing the door panel - it’s not difficult. Dan > On Feb 21, 2017, at 6:13 AM, Larry Turner via Mercedes > wrote: > > Hit send before I

Re: [MBZ] Rear Window

Hit send before I wanted - Thanks Dan - I will pull the door panel as you suggest. I have never had the rear door panels off - I have no idea what it looks like under them - so I assume there will be a bolt with the ground wire and a connection where the power is connected? Thanks again -

Re: [MBZ] Rear Window

Yep, the fuse for the rear windows is in the H position and I rolled it and looked for any damage to the fuse. On 02/21/2017 5:49 AM, Dan Penoff via Mercedes wrote: I assume you checked the fuses, of course? Since it went down under power I would question your diagnosis. First thing I

[MBZ] Rear Window PDF

It's me again - from my index it looks like the window motors should be on a pdf numbered 67-39 but my WSM doesn't have anything close to that. Does anyone have a pdf showing the rear window motors for a 1991 W124? Tghanks LarryT ___

Re: [MBZ] Rear Window

I assume you checked the fuses, of course? Since it went down under power I would question your diagnosis. First thing I would do after verifying fuses are good would be to pull the door panel and put B+ directly to the motor to see if it’s OK. That will also give you access to the regulator

[MBZ] Rear Window

Hi Gang, I rolled the Left Rear Window down and now it won't go back up. The door switch will not move it and the console switch also fails to move it. I cannot get the motor to move the window Up as it's in the full down position. I am thinking either the motor is bad or
