07 E63 AMG windows, seat and mirrors not working
Hello,
new here obviously but I need help, 07 e63
issues:
driver side window not working
both rear windows not working
driver seat not working
mirrors not working
passenger front window and seat work perfect. Window only works with passenger side switch
replaced the door control module from eBay, it was used. I have checked all the fuses in the dash driver side. Checked at the bottom right plug on the module and is getting 12v and ground.
My first Benz it was given to me. I can’t drive it to the dealer cuz it’s all the way up and forward. Tech savvy but need some guidence
please and thank you.

You really need to run diagnostics on the car using STAR/Xentry or an Autel system. The car has approximately 32 digital modules communicating on multiple CAN buses. Could be a module, could be a CANbus junction block damaged (two on driver's side under door sill). Anytime you disconnect a module, you generate a stored code. Clear all codes, then drive, rescan and evaluate current codes.
Post in the W211 AMG sub-forum and you will find the gearheads.

i will have to try and find a scanner do you have an idea as which scanner will work for this? i used my friends icarsoft to check my suspension codes, i also checked the door control module and it only told me i was getting voltage. i should mention that the trunk open and close switch DOES work. which i find weird. dumb question but could i have all three bad switches? mirror, seat and windows?
this was my brother in law car he bought 1 year ago, with suspension codes, check engine light, all the problems listed above. he literally gave me the car cuz he bought a new car and only thing he did was made it worse ( hes 18 and thought he would buy it to "flex" on his buddies)

A few weeks ago, sisters's 2008 E350 was having windows issues: none worked from the drivers side, only the passenger side worked from its own switch. Do not recall testing the seats at all. --> Error code indicating it could not communicate with the window master switch (driver side).. Bought a generic one from Amazon @$40, installed it and all windows are working. I disassembled the old one, and besides some "moisture present" I could not tell why it was failing. One thing though it was dirty between the keys, so it accumulates dirt plus likely spills, or else.
If that is your case, and decide to buy one check it is the same trim as yours: either silver or black.
Forgot to mention you need a tiny L-Torx key to get the master switch out of the door panel and patience to get it out w/o breaking anything. Similar to https://www.autozone.com/test-scan-a...ece/607059_0_0
These cars with 15+ years on the clock are brittle.

thanks for the input, i just hate throwing parts at things.... but in this case i did notice that when i push the driver window switch to roll the window down it stayed down, i blew it out with compressed air and moved them all up and down and they "kinda" went back to the neutral position and that was for all the window switches on the driver side. my brother NEVER cleaned this car after one year of driving it. i can deal with the windows not working, but its the seat that kills me i cant even sit in the dam thing lol.
will the icarsoft v2.0 work for just checking and erasing the codes? or should i buck up (pun intended) and get it to the dealer or equivalent to have this checked out? is it worth seeing if it needs to be updated? im not a fan of the dealerships but it is what it is

I summarized my experience installing Xentry (after following the original post), and I also have the iCarSoft scanner. I thought it was great, but having Xentry is something else. To me, the cost has been about the same because I already had a spare laptop.
Separately, be careful with compressed air and not blowing small wires (thermistors), or over spinning mini fans (overhead control panel) etc. These cars are princesses in disguise, but a lot of fun to drive

Per the seats, I have replaced a seat control switch in my W210 E55. Seat would act crazy and not move to the rear except under memory. Push the button to move the seat rearward, the seat moved forward. Push the button to move seat forward, the seat moved forward. Replacing the switch did the trick. I did have to use industrial adhesive to rebuild the door panel and the pieces separated upon removal.

Well oddly enough I went to Amazon and out the window switch in my car, wife went and added more, then purchased everything in it. So I guess I got a window switch coming Saturday lol. But my friend is friends with the owner of a performance German car shop so I’ll be working with him to get it scanned for codes and what not.
then it’s on to the suspension problems. I’ll repost with an update as soon as I get one.
thank you all for the input it’s been very helpful. More than the buttheads on the Honda S2000 forums when I had mine

Well guys my Amazon window switch showed up. I plugged it in and the windows ALL OF THEM are now working. So me being me thinking it could be a fluke and maybe it just decided to work, I plugged in the original switch and the MF’er worked also.
keep in mind I didn’t take the OE out of the door panel yet. So I unplugged the window switch, plugged in the seat switch to the door control module. The dam seats work, unplug the seat and plug in the mirror, NO MIRROR. I plugged all three in and nothing works.
it appears the mirror switch is faulty. And I’m this case was short circuiting the other components.
long story long, and 100$ bucks down. The seats and the windows are working.
thanks a lot everyone for the input. It is much appreciated!!

Glad to hear nearly everything is back to work.
If you can connect to an MB diagnostic tool, it should say if the MIRROR circuit is faulty or not. Hopefully, it is downstream, i.e. in the mirror, not the module itself. You may have to disassemble the mirror and try to isolate the short.
