1980 driver window
 

I have 1980 300SD wit a driver window that was always slow. It suddenly quit. I would like a troubleshooting step guide but can't find any thread. I don't have a card showing the fuse box #designationfor the drivers window. And I also would like to know how to get the switch out of the console without breaking the wood or the switch. All the other windows still work but the driver window just stopped working with no warning, no power whatsoever. I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

sounds like
 

you have an obstruction in the track and it overloaded the motor til a fuse blew..check all fuses. the switch i think has a little thingie at each end that can be pushed to the center of the switch and then it can be lifted straight up.

then you need to pull the door panel and check out your track mechanisms. the door panel hast if i remember correctly two largish screws that go in througn the door pull, then it pulls out all around the edges being held by pointy plastic clips. use a flat screwdriver and do this carefully or you will damage the cardboard base material, then it lifts straight up.

good luck.
