ml 270 cdi
front windows go down not up tried switch repair hints on fuses or relays

hi thanks for looking.
i have a 270 ml 2000 model i have read rodneys post and attempted a fix on the window switches .great post if thats the problem.
i suspect as the motor still works down then its not a fuse or relay but i dont know .
if anyone can make any other suggestions as it is freezing and my driver and passanger window wont go up my passenger window has the same prob that is only an inch open scared to touch it again as wont go up.

Repairing the switch is a bandaid at best. Just buy a new switch module have it installed and you should be good to go.

These parts are so cheaply made for these ml's its amazing! Are the mount clips broken? If they are you can just run some wood screws through the threads to the wood trim. Or unless the switch is simply broken internally.
I happen to have a brand new switch for W163 if you can't find a solution. Let me know.
