210 electrical gremlins

It must be a relay somewhere. I have a 1998 210 diesel. Suddenly right brake light stops working. Bulb is good. Seemingly at the same time, the driver window and seat stops working. The next day, brake light still not working, but now the passenger side seat and window not working, and driver's side is fine again. Any help is greatly appreciated!

all the functions you mention are on the CAN BUS network in the car, there is a connector called the X30 (I beleive) - its a junction block for the CAN.

My experience was working on a W210 that would lose the passenger front window control. After removing the seats and carpets I found that connector and it was wet and had poor contact.

It may also be a window motor in a door going bad - it can take down other doors too.

Yep the body CAN junction is below the door sill on the front passenger side. Pop off the door sill carefully and peel back the carpet. It looks like a harmonica with a bunch of two pin connectors on it.
