It may be helpful for you to get a wiring diagram. If there are two fuses for the window circuit you know you have the dual circuits.


I also could be wrong about my description of the electrical setup. Others will correct that if I am. Just as a guess it sounds like you may still have some wiring connections mixed up. If you have no electrical experience and it where possible to look at the connection order of another car I might take advantage of that. Even one in a wrecking yard. I had a quick look at a manual.

There are two window lift relays present in the wiring diagram .I just looked at for the wiring in the north American 123 models. plus there are two circuits as I described. I assume it is the six wire plug that became partially disconnected? Post the year of your 240d so I can go over the specific wiring diagram. They all probably are the same in this area but stupid to ignore that they may have made some changes over the years. I doubt you have done any serious damage by the way. I or someone else may be able to make a suggestion.
I found a factory service wiring diagram and all connections and fuse box fuses seem to be in order. Thanks for this suggestion, it was a satisfying to figure out how to check the wiring from a diagram. I'm stumped. As for the voltmeter and circuits, where should I be putting the positive and negative ends of the voltmeter to test, and what am I looking for? I've been using the factory service diagrams from startekinfo.com. My 240D is an '81. Oh, and not knowing too much about electricity, when the wires for the right rear window touched and spark/popped, where would this go/what would this do? I would imagine it would go straight to the fuse box and pop a fuse, but this doesn't seem to be the case.

Thanks!
