To this august group,

My 1982 300SD had the 3 non-driver's windows quit working. I have just started debugging the problem, and thought I would ask here. I have done the following:

1) I have checked the fuses and, in fact, cleaned the entire fuse box and replaced all fuses with quality, non-aluminum, fuses.
2) I pulled the switch for the right side doors and cleaned the inside out with alcohol and put everything back in. Tested, nothing.
3) I pulled the covers off the 3 doors, pulled the RR mechanism out and applied power to the motor. It worked.

Next I plan to work back on the wiring to see what problems I run into, but it seems curious to me that all 3 doors quit. The driver's window quit, but the fuse was blown, I replaced it, and the window started working again. But no joy on any of the others.

Any tips based on experience out there with this squirrelly problem? THanks ahead.

- Ted
