w215 CL65 window, mirror, button start
Quite a mixed bag suddenly developed after service by local stealers.
Driver's window sometimes doesn't close last 6 mm ; driver's mirror sometimes doesn't open fully ; gear selector start button sometimes doesn't do its stuff (just like a dead short)
Stealer wants it in for d/x on Star but also said I need to replace all the wiring in the driver's door.
This is apparently an unheard of fault ( s) .
Is window final close on vacuum pump ?
Is door mirror fully electric or also on vacuum pump ?
Is it likely a bad connection on start button ?
I would appreciate any knowledge regarding these annoying problems if any of you guys have some to offer.

It is a very common problem with the wiring loom. I have had exactly the same problem.
Because the Drivers door has been opened on a regular basis over the years the wiring stretched. You need to expose the wiring loom and have the wires re-connected any competent auto-electrician could rectify the problem or if you have the expertise go for it.

Thanks, I'll get into the driver's door tomorrow and examine the wiring harness. As a precaution, I left the battery on a trickle charge because I know from past experience that anything less than 12 volts causes all manner of faults to manifest themselves.
I'll post results.
