[diesel_mercedes] Window Switch Service

 



What Marek said ;

I'd highly suggest taking the switch apart over a light colored cloth as there are tiny springs and ball bearings plus of course the contacts proper .

I also suggest hand polishing the stamped copper contact bit that'll fall out loose , the cleaner and shinier you get it , the faster your windows will work and the longer this repair will last .,

Use a tiny flat bladed screw driver to ever so gently pry the switches apart .

DEOXIT is terrific stuff .

The problems with both your turn signals and your hazard lights are almost certainly due to dirty contacts in the hazard switch.  And if only one of the windows is not working, then, again, it's most likely the switch.  Located as they are in the console between the seats, they attract dirt and grime like Beverly Hills attracts plastic surgeons.  The good news is that these switches are both old and German, so they can be disassembled, cleaned and lubricated with a good quality spray contact cleaner/lubricant, re-assembled and re-installed.  For the cleaner, I like CAIG's Deoxit, available at many guitar/musician stores, or high end audio/home theatre retailers.  Or use the stuff Radio Shack sells.  Once treated, the switches should last another 30-years or so....

I forgot to mention no hazard either.
I'll take a look at the hazard switch then see if it has a problem.
