2002 CL500 drivers' door module is intermittent
Hi, I am new around here and look forward to your wise advice. My 2002 CL500 drivers' door module that controls the seat, windows, etc. works only intermittently and I suspect it will go out soon. Is there anyone who sells these modules new? I have seen some used, but parts houses don't seem to have them. Does a Mercedes dealership even sell them?

i second the wiring between the doors being problematic, havent had issues myself yet, i think the fact that we dont see temps below 30 farenheit here in florida has something to do with it. however i expect to need to complete this job one day

After cutting the "boot" we had to add some wires to be properly spliced. I am certain there would be a lot of work involved if you were to replace the wiring harness, providing you could obtain one.

I am glad to hear you did not have this problem yet. I don't think the temperature has much to do with it, but more the, as Mercedes quotes it, "new door hinge mechanisms"( A multi-link design). The extra length of the wires, and the constant opening and closing of the door, causes the thin wires to simply break. A similar issue is with the wiring to the phone connection in the centre armrest.
