one touch windows - how to

2005 ML 500

I want to setup all the windows for one touch up and down (front doors, rear door, rear cabin windows, and sunroof.

Is this something I need to go to the dealer for or can I do it myself. I read somewhere that you simply open all the windows then hold down for 10-15 secs then hold up for 10-15 secs on each window separate. This didnt seem to do the trick for me.

Anyone?

This must be available only on newer models. I don't believe my 2000 has this option. It has the one touch down on the 2 front windows, but thats it. Maybe I am missing something all these years?

This was not an option, it was std. The earlier ML's had one touch down only on the front windows. My 02 had one touch up and down on all windows as does my 06 W164. If this guy has a problem with his 05, perhaps the switch module was changed and an incorrect one installed as the circutry for this resides in the switch module, or, at least some of it does.

The front windows have the one touch... I want to also make both sets of the rear windows as well as my sunroof the same way... Yes I know its not a big deal, but being used to it with my other cars holding the sunroof button especially is really a pain...

Perhaps I didnt hold the buttons long enough or there is a special sequence? Like I said, the direction I have say open all windows with key in ignition and then hold down for 15 secs then up for 15 secs on every window...

I do not have my manual as I just got the car and the dealership is looking for it (dealer car).

The roof has the one touch. Just bump the switch back, and it will open 3/4 of the way. When thats done, bump back one more time, and it will open all the way. Doesnt work for closing it though.

one touch windows - how to

I have a 2005 ML 500, and this is how it normally works..

You press the open/close window swictch an you hold the button until you feel some resistance. This is the manual way of opening or closing the window.

To make the window open or close automatically, you press the button past the point of resistance (or press it all the way) and then you release the button immediately, and the window will automatically open or close automatically..

If you hold the swicth while it is closing, it will override the obstruction sensor and the automatic reversal feature...

If you change the vehicle battery or if the power windows are not working correctly, you need to synchronize the window system by starting the engine and holding the window switch until the window is closed and then holding it for around 3 seconds.

My 2000 ML does have one touch roof open. You just pussh it to the open open position and immediately release it. If you have it already tilted open, it also lowers it and opens all the way. I didnt read about it the manual, discovered it accidentally. Kewl

yeah, it has one touch open sunroof. To a certain point where it wont make a buffeting noise. Then if u touch it again it opens all the way, it will also one touch close back to the first 75% open position. 02+ ML has express up and down on all 4 windows.
