Anyone know where I can get replacement left and right motors for my 78 450SL? neither window worked when I got it and it is prime time convertible weather here in Florida.
What makes you think it is the window motors and not just fuses or relays? Have you tested the fuses? I t could also be the switches. Have you tested them?
I don't see from your Profile exactly where you are in Florida. I know there is a guy who parts out 107's just north of the villages. He advertises on Craigs list and also Ebay. He isn't running a charity and wants good money for his parts.
If you still have the old aluminum fuses replace them all with quality parts. I had the same issue with my car and replacing the fuse and cleaning all the electrical contacts on the fuse block solved the problem.
I checked and replaced the fuses, I checked the switch, I have power there at the plug, bought new switches and see if that works but I have a feeling there is more to it than that.
Chances are it is the switch, and this is not hard to check nor costly to replace. I have a set of good used motors if you need them, but I would first replace the switches. Even if the switches are OK for the moment, they will fail before long so you might as well do it now.
I will definately keep you in mind. When the switches come in, and if there is no power to the motor (my next check) I'll buy the motors from you. How much do you want?
Do you hear the relay clicking? It's located above the fuse box behind the cardboard panel.
I cant tell how many bad ones I've replaced but more than a handful for sure.
If you do end up replacing the motors, please keep me in mind for your old ones,
I can use the old ones for parts :wink
you can use your jumper cables or charger and hook directly to the motor wires to see if they works.
