300d 124, electrical problems at start up

Wife starts car, all ok, right away starts to open sunroof. Radio goes dead, windows don't work, roof won't open. She drives it to work.

I go to car, start it - radio ok, windows work. Start to open sunroof, radio goes off, sunroof and windows wont work.

Shut car off, start up, radio & windows work. Don't touch sunroof.

Drive home( 3 miles) - sunroof works, windows work, radio OK.

Is there a time sensitive factor here ( time after startup) or something that's intended to delay operability of accessories for short period after start up?

All advice greatly appreciated.

None that I know about. It could be a 'bad' connection, the current draw from the sunroof breaks the connection, which over time and after vibrations of driving 'reconnects' itself, but only a bit and the cycle starts over.

Start with checking the fuse, rotate it in the holder to clean the contact point, or replace it.

Best Regards,
Jim

I had a simular problem with my 92 300d.At start up,the drivers window would go down automatically and not go back up until I had gone over a few more bumps-then go down again,and the sunroof would work some of the time.Checked everyhing out cleaned switches,etc.,and found the controller under the rear seat on the drivers side was bad.Replaced with a $100 used unit ,which may be pricey as I am new to these cars,but it did the trick. Good luck
