How to Change the Power Window Switch

Model: Mercedes Classe E W211 - Years 2002-2009
Part: Power window switch

One of the most common problems, especially in older cars, is a broken power window switch, the system that allows us to lower and raise the windows by simply pressing a button. One of the most frequent causes of a malfunctioning window switch is a blown fuse. To replace the fuse, you need a new fuse and a pair of tweezers. The new fuse must have the same amperage as the old one; otherwise, you risk damaging the system and worsening the problem. At this point, simply extract the old fuse using the tweezers without applying too much pressure, and insert the new one.
