so i was driving my w220 and my windows just stopped working, right? it was super annoying. i tried all the usual stuff like checking the fuse, but no luck. then i remembered a trick i heard about resetting the windows. ya know, sometimes they get confused, especially after flashing the lights. anyway, here’s what i did.
first, pull the window switch up all the way and hold it there for like 10 seconds. then push it all the way down and hold for another 10. it’s like telling the car to start over. you might hear a click, that means it’s working. if not, try the other windows. and if that doesn’t work, check the fuse again, sometimes they pop out. made mine work again tho, wish i knew this earlier.
anyone tried this before? does it work on other mercedes models too maybe, like the w221? let me know if you have any other tricks. and btw, don’t forget to keep the car in good condition it can save you a lot of stress.
Man, resetting the windows on my W220 was a pain 'til I figured it out. Living in Toronto, sometimes these European cars throw surprises. I’ve been told to disconnect the battery, so I did that for five mins, then start the car. Do it three times, and Voila! Windows went back to the right spots. It saved my behind from pulling fuses! Let me know if it works for you, too!
In my day down in Florida, I stumbled upon the best way to reset the windows on my W220. It’s wicked simple: first, roll all windows up, then hold the first switch down for five seconds. Voila! Usually fixes my jams. Gotta say, it saved me a trip to the shop. Always figured those cabs were a bit high-tech, but hey, they’ve got a few cheats tricks up the sleeve, don’t they?

I had this thing happen in Toronto with my W220, ya know? Once, my car windows got all stuck, and it was a huge pain. Figured out the reset trick after some googling! Just disconnect the battery for a lil’ while—like 15 mins—and presto! Windows start scrolling again. Super simple, but saved me a ton of hassle. Anyone else had this kinda drama? Love hearing hacks like these to keep things smooth.
In Seattle, I had trouble with my W220 windows. Had to press and hold the window switch with the unlock button; it worked like magic! Fixed it easy peasy, no sweat. Everyone seems to have their tricks up their sleeve, huh? Happy to help and share!

So, I had this Mercedes W220 in Texas and the windows kicked the bucket. Thought I was doomed. But turns out, all you gotta do is press and hold the lock/unlock button on your key fob with the ignition on till all windows go down and back up. Super easy! Saved me a trip to the dealership. You guys probably knew this, but swear I couldn’t figure it out. Happy driving!
I’ve got this W220 stuck in Seattle last winter, windows jammed solid, felt like a sauna. Managed to crack ‘em open with backseat hecklers coaching over the tines tool in the fuse box. Best friends laughed when I said I was a ‘window whisperer’. Now, breeze city every time a frosty day hits—knew there was a trickin’ way, just a few clicks and flicks later!
I remember getting stuck in my '05 W220 in Toronto with a storm rolling in. It was hectic, but a quick belt whack and window down trick I’ve heard 'round worked. Saved me from a soggy ride. Wish Mercedes made it more obvious, ya know? Don’t get too frustrated, hang in there!
In Michigan, I got my hands on a '95 W220. The windows started acting up on me, so I had to reset em myself. It wasn’t rocket science. Just found the fuse box under the dash – it was a bit tricky to spot at first. Once I located em, pulling some of the fuses did the trick! Saved me a trip to the shop. You just gotta be patient, and you’ll be golden! Never knew I had it in me.
Been in Toronto and totally struggled resetting windows in my W220. First time I accidentally opened em all up while inside! Super annoying, but once I figured it out, totally chill. Just flick this hidden switch under the dash and everything’s back to tic normal. Super simple, kind of like magic, if you know what I mean! Saves so much hassle!
Idid it myself in Seattle last year. My W220 decided to give me the cold shoulder, no sliders. Opened the glove box, found the button beside the switch. Seriously, that’s it—just flick once when windows are up, twice when down. Magic, right? Simpler than a cup of coffee at Starbucks. My garage buddy thought I was going to disassemble the whole thing. Cheers to frustration-free life in the PNW!
In Toronto last summer, got my W220 stuck. Figured it out after some online sleuthing, no muss no fuss. Tip: Unlatch with a coat hanger from the door. Easy peasy—I had haters lol.
I’ve always had an issue with my window motors in my W220, living in Ontario, Canada. So, biking around one day, the window stuck, and my buddy showed me this simple trick. Just flip the little switch under the driver’s seat. Honestly, changing cars for a day felt rad, but it was a lesson learned. Highway rides aren’t the same without a breeze, right?
I’ve always loved my W220, especially cruising down Route 66 in Arizona. Once my windows jammed, simply toggling the stalk circled buttons a few times and poof—worked like magic! Total lifesaver!
