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

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.
