1980 300D - Opposite windows are ganged on a common circuit...Most likely the fuse...sometimes the "corrosion" is simply a dull looking finish or patina on the contact points of the fuse and/or the fuseblock contacts. For my spring cleaning routine I use a Qtip with the emery/crocus cloth wrapped over it to
"polish" the fuseblock contacts...works great. Also inspect and clean the seal on the fusebox cover and lightly apply rubber lubricant to keep the seal pliable.
