W205 C300 WINDOW PROBLEM *FIXED*
I have been having a problem with my rear right window. The window switch doesnt seem to do anything but the driver side window switch only lets the window go down but not up, you cant hear the window motor running when I pull the switch up. Any Ideas on how I can test whats wrong? Thanks

Could it be a fuse, or did you try recalibrating the windows?
To recalibrate to put it simply is to close the window and then hold the window switch up (basically lift it past resistance for 15 seconds or so)
Edit: since you couldn't close the window, try the calibration without successfully closing the windows if not it is likely a fuse or the actual button broken.

I tried looking for a fuse but there aren’t any for power windows on the fuse map. I’ll try to buy one of those tools that lights up when there is power on a connector and see if that tells me anything. The switch is getting some power as the switch has the orange light on

I've had that problem, my window switch was lighting up as well, turns out it was faulty and replacing it fixed the issue. The actual switch on the rear door did however work so not 100% sure you have the same issue, maybe both switches are faulty, I bought mine from AliExpress and quality is exactly the same, the light is even better than OEM.
At least it's fairly cheap on Ali to test it out: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33041347830.html

I just wanted to renew this thread because I figured out the problem and would like to help anyone else having a similar issue. The problem was that the master window switch in the driver side door was broken so a quick swap out fixed the issue. To remove the master switch you don’t need to take off the door panel. All you need to to Is get one of the plastic trim removal tools first remove the plastic silver trim around the buttons followed by removing the black bigger black plastic trim that’s around the buttons (colors of the bigger trim vary by interior color) then it’s as easy as unplugging and replugging the new one in

yes I don’t remember exactly if it was that particular seller but I did purchase from AliExpress. I misunderstood the prior replies and I just swapped out the window switch on the door that wasn’t working thinking that it was that switch that was the issue but it was in fact the master window switch on the drivers door that needed to be replaced. Hope this helps!
