Actually it WASN'T that damn switch! With the usual two handed wiggling approach I got the window up and down...now with no help it goes up and down.
SO, Guess what??? Yea, you'll never guess...so this is the call Kevin got just moments after I dropped him off after lunch...
"Hey my car won't start and it's ON FREAKING FIRE! SMOKE IS COMING OUT OF MY SPEAKERS AND DASH!!!"
I had a couple of bottles of water, he told me dump it on the dash.
It was the ground wire to the starter missing a bolt and shorting out! Poor Kevin had to crawl under there in a parking lot to fix it.
I'm so ready to sell this car and start with a different MB! I doubt I can get my money out of it sold as-is, but if I part it out I will..but then it'll be a few bucks here and there and could take forever to save up for the newer MB. *sigh*
Oh Lordy ;
I hope that punk who sold you this car gets his butt whipped .
