Clk 320 w208 roof and windows faults
Hi guys
All new to this I'm afraid
I've just bought a clk320 2001 elegance
When I got the car it was said that the roof didn't work I didn't think that this would be a problem and I'd get it fixed for summer
The next day I got in the car and tryed opening the window nothing. So I tryed the other windows none of which worked I also noticed that the rear headrests had also stopped working and the red light was on
I rang who I got the car of he sujested I dissconect the battery which when I did all the window exc worked again all seems fine but this seems temporary as the next time I used it it did the same thing all stopped
Dose anyone have any ideas please
Thanks Andy

I've been having the same issue. I've replaced the driver's door module and the SAM. Neither have fixed the window/moon roof issues. I checked the window switches and they seem good as well. As for the moon roof:: I'm planning on replacing the switch/dome assembly next.
Our cars have a unique "CAN/BUS" system, in which many different components operate off of the same circuit(s), so if a controller (or some other integral component) is crippled or fails, it affects more than one thing, making it harder to track down. They also have to be "re-coded" if you replace one of the modules (which apparently you can't do yourself). I think this is my current problem. Possibly yours too. I'm still searching to see if it can be done w/o having to pay MB a bunch of money for something I assume is pretty simple.
I'll post up if I find the solution before you do, but as of right now, the closest I've gotten (besides disconnecting the battery) is to pull all 3 window fuses for a few seconds. That has been my best option for now.
G/L and keep us posted.
