How to diagnose electrical problems with your power windows. I'll show you how you can use a test light to see if the problem is a broken window switch, or a blown fuse due to a short in the wiring, or the power window motor itself is bad.

  • My friends gave me a 2001 ML 430 to sell. It had a bunch of minor issues that were easy to fix, mostly lights and power steering fluid leaks. The window control panel was physically damaged with a missing switch and they had not used the windows in quite some time. I ordered a new window control panel which operated all the windows correctly although kept blowing the F30 fuse. I dug and hunted around trying to figure out if it was a short, an issue with the motor, relay or something else. As I was digging around I cleaned and lubricated all the parts as the grease had all dried out and there was tons of grit and dust in everything as they live down a dirt road. Apparently it was just the lack of lubrication and or dirt in the window mechanism blowing the fuse as once everything was back together I've put them up and down over 20 times and have been unable to blow the fuse again.

  • Thanks for the tutorial, but if you could plz clarify just one point of confusion: at 8:30 you said the black wire you placed into the connector on the other side of the red and green wire is connected to the negative post of the battery; then at but at 8:43 you said that same black wire is connected via 20A fuse to the positive battery post; and then at 9:00 you used that black wire to bridge the 2 red and green wires. So it sounds like you said 3 different things should be done with that same wire at the same time, which is contradictory. So plz kindly explain, what is the correct order of things to be done? And thanks very much for all the time & effort you put into training us DIYers 👍🏼👍🏼
