My 2001 ML430 is CRAP please help with window switch
first of all let me say that buying a 2001 ML430 was the worst decision I ever made. I would truly love to see it go up in flames. Biggest piece of crap I ever bought.
I replaced the master window control switch and driver side window OR passenger rear window will STILL not operate. The other 2 operate so I dont think the new switch I bought is bad. Can it be a fuse? The fkn owners manual doesnt even tell u where the fkn window control fuses are. I need some help before I set this piece of crap on fire. I am so frustrated with this car, it is a pure money pit

Don't need this kind of language here. Your issues can happen when you purchase a 9 year old rather complex vehicle and try to take care of it yourself with little knowledge and the without the correct diagnostic skills and equipment. Guess you also did not do your do dilligence very well either.

Well, sorry it was so hasty. I have been through so many problems with this car and simply frustrated beyond belief. And I don't have any money to get it resolved. I have put well over 12,000 in repairs into this car in only 40,000 miles.

I have found that the cost of maintaining any vehicle is directly proportional to its original cost. ie, the more expensive the car the more expensive the maintenence. In addition as the car ages maint costs greatly increase. I can appreciate your being frustrated but do not blame it on the car. Its likely that the previous owner(s) deferrred lots of maint, after all its 9 maybe 10 years old. If you do not have the money to properly maintain the car or at least bring it up to a reasonable maintenence status perhaps you bought the wrong car.
