Oh God, what did I do???????
Stumbled upon a 87 560SEC, very nice body, interior, runs good, most everything works, 114500 miles. At this point, I think, a week later, I got it at a steal, $2100. Boy does it run nice on the highway. Moved up from a 88 BMW 325i, first Benz.
Now, the main problem. The PO said that he had some intermittent problems with he driver window, sometimes he had to fiddle with the switch to get it to work. From his description it sounded like the switch. I know the guy and trusts what he tells me. At first I had no problem but on about the third day, the window went down but couldn't get up. When I tried hit the switch to raise the window, the switch was jammed, it wouldn't push. OK, switch went bye bye. There was another switch on the car, put it in and pushed to to raise the window. Switch worked, window didn't. Switch worked in other positions. Tried
So, been pricing motors but I have a hard time believing that the motor is the problem. The window went up and down fine, no hesitation, strange noises, nothing. It worked good until the switch broke. And the switch did break, the rocker switch stopped rocking. Oh yea, the fuse is fine.
Any ideas before I sink a couple hundred in the motor and tear the door apart? Is there something else that it could be, relay, etc.
It is going to rain sometime.
Thanks, Reed
