W124 E420 convenience feature not operating consistently
1995 W124 E420...the convenience feature on my vehicle is not operating consistently...windows, locks, and sunroof operation are all normal/no problems...however, sometimes, when I press the window down next to the selector for the front window to roll all the way down by itself...it does not come down automatically all by itself...also, when I hold the key down so the sunroof/windows close, it sometimes does not work...is there a module that controls this operation/function? is there a fuse I can reset? It works sometimes, then stops working other times...I've used the system pretty often on my vehicle and it has only been acting up lately... Thank you for any insight into the problem...

The convenience features control module (n57) is located under the rear seat (drivers side)
It should have a p/n: 202 820 09 26 There is also a convenience relay module in the fuse box (k24). Are both of the one touch features broken or just the drivers side? and is the problem intermittent or is it contant? I mean are the CF features broken now when the used to work? or do they still work sometimes and not others. Good luck!

Hmm...I don't know what to tell you. Its likely the comfort control unit or the relay. I think that a dealership could pull the codes, but the fix is probably replace one or the other. I guess the dealership could swap out the convenience control and relay to see if either are bad.
The relay is p/n: 0015427819 ($43 on fastlane) and the control unit is p/n: 202 820 09 26 (not listed on fastlane)

Is there any way to troubleshoot the problem myself?

What is the purpose of the convenience feature module? Does it only control the convenience features, i.e. window auto down and close/open all windows/sunroof when key is held in the lock/unlock positions? Is that it? Kind of pricey at around $450CAD for the unit...do you guys just leave it broken and live without having those features or should it be fixed? Does it actually do more, and these failures that I have been seeing are simply just the start of more problems so the unit should be replaced??? The shop said the original module had defective solder points and the module breaking down is a pretty common problem...which kind of confuses me...what exactly is a defective solder point? I mean, if the solder was defective, I would think that it would corrode/rust if it was located in a more "harsh" environment...but tucked behind the back seat doesn't seem all that bad...

Check on eBay for a used module for advertise for one here on the parts board. I got one from David Hendy on this board for about $40 and it solved my problems.
