Some incompetent mechanic has been working on this otherwise pristine car, and I have sorted out many problems already, but this one is driving me nuts. I have all electric windows working now except the left rear. If I plug in this socket under the rocker switch on the center console, the dash and accessory lights illuminate (headlights off) and the window still doesn't work. I checked the color coded wires on the plugs, and they seem OK (but the codes in the Mercedes Troubleshooting CD don't exactly match all the wire colors on the car). I applied 12V to the motor, and the window works fine. I took apart all the rocker switches, and cleaned them. I must be getting 12V feeding back the wrong way through one of the tiny bulbs in a switch. Must be a pin in the wrong socket. Any tips on where to look next?
