2001 ML430 window switch problem I GOT A LEMON lol please help

I have a Mercedes 2001 ML430. The window switch is a main panel of 4 switches. I touched it with metal by accident and it sparked. Now 2 switches do not work and windows won't roll up/down. Did I short just the switch or window motors too? thank you

You just need to replace the switch and everything will be good

but now one other window will not roll down. when I touched it with the screwdriver and it sparked is it possible or unlikely that I shorted out the window motors? thanks

Have you checked the fuses?

no, I just assumed since it worked before I touched the connection with a screwdriver and it sparked, then the other window would not operate, that I shorted it out. I will check it though thanks. Do you think there is a possibility that I shorted the motor by doing that? thanks

I doubt the motor got fried in that short instant of the spark/arcing.
