Ordered and installed new Door Control Module. Now have control of windows, seats, mirrors again!
Door Open Warning still appears, so going to order new Door Micro Switch. Fingers crossed this cures my current (over 2 years now) issue.


Somewhere here in another thread it is stated that unplugging the micro switch will be similar to a closed door, so try to do this first - I think it´s a difficult jod to replace the switch.


This: "
.. as for your door switch, the microswitch has a lead on it running to a connector behind the door skin. With that disconnected, the door should act as if its closed. (ruling out a faulty switch) If it doesn't, then there is grounding to something between the door and the rear SAM that it feeds ground to.

The microswitch is just a switched ground. Disconnecting it should have the same effect as closing the door."

Thought I'd document this in case anyone does a search for info on 2002 gremlins.


Ten years later, my teen daughter is now driving the car. Everything on the drivers door failed last night. I pulled it all apart, figured out it was the door control module, and typed the mercedes part number into google to see what the scoop is. And where does it take me? To my own thread from 2006, where I had presciently posted "in case anyone does a search". That person being future me. Thanks W5YK-from-the-past.


This. Made me laugh. A "note to future self..."
