Braingears Expert Date registered: Apr 2006 Location: St Petersburg, FL Vehicle(s): G320 & ML320 Posts: 1450 | Rear Power Windows My driver's side rear windows stopped working. When I press the switch, I can hear the clicking sound from the solenoid, but it doesn't move. • I removed the door panel and pulled the plug to the motor. When I connected my gauges, I was able to see 12V in one direction, and -12V in the other direction (just as I would expect).

I realize the switch itself activates the solenoids, and doesn't carry any real current. So I figured that gave the switch a passing grade. | ||
