Electric window failure

[JerryWagner]

On my Daughter's 87 300E yesterday the left rear window did not work for a while from either switch, then later in the day it came to life, now the driver's window is stuck in the down position, the fuses "H" controls the right rear and drivers, the fuse is ok and I spun it in position to reset, all 3 windows work except for the driver's, sounds like a bad switch in the console, can anyone offer anything else ? any shortcuts to getting the switch out ? might do a swap with the right front to confirm. thanks in advance

Sorry there are no shortcuts...

But you're in lucky, this is a VERY SIMPLE DIY. The center console is removed simply by removing 1 screw the pull it out up/forward and out. (move the carpet and you'll see the screw)

To get the switch out just pull it straight out. Mine were kind of sticky, previous owner probably spilled some soda or juice in that area. Only 1 worked flawlessly, the other 3 were intermittently bad. So I just changed all 4.

Regarding the fuse, sometimes just turning them don't work. Invest a few cents and just change them with new ones from NAPA (They're something like $2 for 6). You can always use the old ones as spare.
