I tried to do this without watching the video. Please do not do that! This video made it so easy, and you will not break pins or damage other parts of the door.

How come we can't post new comments?? Nonetheless, thanks brother. My switch just died on me and I'm gonna try you technic.

[@DaveBenbowTV]

Thank you so much for this video. My 2009 ML350 door switch was broken for over a year (who needs to lower back windows, anyway? ;) ), as I didn't want to pay Beverly Hills MBZ $750 for the repair. I bought the replacement switch for $40, and following your great instructions (only thing different on my car was that the 2 bolts holding the switch in place, inside the door panel, were a smaller size than the T30, but I actually had the right size tool, so I was able to remove them), I did the repair/switch myself! Works perfectly now, and again, thank you! :)

My wife’s 2013 C300 drivers widow just broke well 2 weeks ago! Watching your video, you are the man! Wow brother, you operate like a surgeon Nice work Thank you!

[@pin22pin]

My dude, you are a lifesaver, I fat-fingered my wife's ML 350 window switched and it's been a month and she was on my case to get it fixed. You helped a brother out.

[@russellwilson1049]

Normally dont comment but this really saved me this morning,thank you

[@iRepairAutos]

Glad it helped!

[@williamholmer7331]

Thanks so much for recording this! It worked for my 2007 ML350. Saved me a lot of guesswork 1736! I would have missed a few things for sure doing this without the video!

[@larsmoservice588]

Just a few guys here in the shop wondering how to get this panel off. We're all impressed with your finesse! Thanks

[@iRepairAutos]

Glad you found it helpful

[@ericjs961]

Thank you so much for this video. I bought my daughter a 2006 Mercedes ML350 and your videos are a God send!!! Thank you so much!!!!

[@thecousinschannel5551]

This is one of the BEST how-to videos I’ve watched in a long time, if not the best. Great job with the emphasis on PRECISION. THANK YOU 🙏 for sharing.

[@iRepairAutos]

Glad you found the video useful.

[@joeamil2749]

I will share this with my car technician so he could know why I’m not taking my car to him... Dude it’s awesome and so clean...

[@scompston6797]

This how to video was the best I’ve seen! Followed it step by step and everything went perfectly. Thanks for your time and for sharing your expertise!

[@NormanCruse]

I followed the video to replace the liftgate release switch (tailgate open/close switch) A 251 870 63 10 9051 in my 2008 ML320 driver side door. At the point in the video where the link to the door handle is about to be disconnected it is possible to easily access this switch. The cable connector needs to be disconnected and a single torx screw removed to swap out the switch. Excellent well explained video!

[@odalydeloro524]

I'm having this issue now and just ordered the part which is was only around $45. Just out of curiosity I was looking for a video here on how to do it and your video was the first one to come up. Honestly you are great at explaining how to do the replacement without any confusion and long talks. Very impressive it. Thank you for doing this!!

[@ichoo5048]

Excellent video. Obviously an individual who takes great care and pride in the job at hand. Congratulations and thank you.

[@soulmandannyo]

Your video is superb. My switch replacement became a simple 20 minute job after viewing this. I watched another video from somebody else and he had the lock switch removal technique wrong- with his instructions it felt like I was about to break the switch, so I found your video and got it right. You're the best! Thank You.

[@iRepairAutos]

Glad the video helped. Thanks for the positive feedback. It helps to balance out the pundits who come on here from time to time. 😎

[@masterace1150]

Thank you so much, I only wabted to replace the driver aide lock unlock switch and the dealer was telling me that the whole door panel must be removed to get access to the switch. Now, I feel like forwarding him your video as education material for the mercedes people.

[@GruvenHaus]

I was all for your 100% precision until I saw the torx 20 dancin' around on top of that flathead screwdriver.. LMAO. I'm just hisidin', great video bro..

[@moneyboys9525]

Just changed mine today your the man very easy to follow video 👊🏾

[@yehmustafa2959]

Thank you, the same button broke off of mine! I suspect this is Mercedes design defect. Thank you for clear concise how-to instructions

[@gregb840]

736 you are a surgeon my man

[@GTH-mb3xw]

Fantastic how-to video! You probably saved me $400. GREAT job! (btw...who are these 14 thumbs down people??)...

[@iRepairAutos]

Thanks my friend. Buy me a beer if we ever meet.

[@hadikadhim8637]

This is best Video I have ever seen in my life, GREAT JOB iRepair Autos, and thank you for those Videos

[@bryandavis9267]

17:36, phenomenal job buddy!

[@I-am-not-D1-4U]

It’s a good thing that I watched this video because I was about to take the door panel off I guarantee I would’ve broken some clips or took the wrong piece off this video made it simple for me and I didn’t break a sweat.

[@fredpierce6656]

Very cool, straightforward, concise and accurate! Well done video...many thanks! Much appreciated....

[@iRepairAutos]

Thanks my friend

[@philipoien7562]

Your camera work is awesome.

[@LeonardZech]

Excellent video. Also found these control units, brand new on EBay for AUD$46 delivered! Not the $600+ OEM WOW!

[@hregan90]

I broke the shit out of my old unit without any other interior damage....why? Because I wasted too much time trying to find a video without some tweaker trying to show me how to do this correctly!! Thank you kindly for your thorough step by step video. My ML500 and I greatly appreciate you!!

[@b.m.5610]

Thanks man! I just replaced mine and the hardest parts were finding the clips on the bottom and unscrewing the damn 3rd screw hole inside the panel, I super glued the screw with the T20 socket to keep it in place it makes it easier putting it back in without dropping the damn thing. One more thing, I forgot to put down the window when I started no wonder I can't put the panel back on top..lol

[@joachimurmersbach2343]

Hey, I just want to say thank you for this helpful video. With the useful tools and this tutorial I did the work in under one hour. Very useful!

1736 Thank for the very informative video. Very well explained . One of the better videos to watch on how to do things. Thanks again.

[@MarkbenIsrael]

Excellent video! Still it seems, to me, to be delicate. A little too much force and broken pins and covers everywhere! Experience is key.💯

[@saskoktz]

Dear Keith I have been following your Chanel for a while and I enjoy how easy you make it all look . I took your advice on this replacement of this part took the door apart and changed the old broken controller for a new one that costed $25.00 and 1 hour of my time . The explanation it’s perfect and I manage to take everything out and put it all back . Precision as you said yes it’s important if you wanna fix your old Mercedes . Currently I have loss of oil every few weeks I loose around 2 litres of oil . Also loss of power the engine run in some sort of low mode change the gears at 2000rpm only and occasionally the power comes back but I can see white smoke when I press the throttle down. Any advice with this . Thank you Sasha

[@snnrman4053]

you da real mvp

[@MrJeremiahCornelius]

1736! Very helpful!

[@jasdavsim]

Well put together video dude thank you 😊

[@iRepairAutos]

I'm glad it helps

[@handyman3320]

He made this wonderful video after breaking 30 clips and recording 7 times. HA. Sure is a GREAT video, a 12 year old could follow your instructions. Keep up the good work.

[@iRepairAutos]

Handy Man I go through the pain so you don't have to. Hopefully the videos make it so easy that even a 4 year old can do them successfully.

[@leefranks36604]

Thanks awesome info!

[@domenicdesantis9847]

Do you have a video on how to remove the entire door not just the door panel?

[@bradtshortridge]

This helped 🙌🏼

[@darryljenkins3560]

great video presentation. Any advice for how to power the passenger seat forward when battery dies and possibly seat control module faulty. Which wire to power to get the motor to actuate forward on 2009 ML320

[@iRepairAutos]

Connect a battery pack to the jump points under the hood. I'll get those wires for you. What's your vin?

[@darryljenkins3560]

@@iRepairAutos 4JGBB25E99A498043 is the VIN. And yes I jumped it at the under hood points with no luck. Battery has less than 1v. I did a naked jump to cables to get the car into neutral so I could get it off the trailer. But, I need to actuate the seat forward to replace the battery so I can search for the parasitic drain and crank the car. I don't want to cut away any wires or cut the seat out. I would prefer a connector to the seat motor to make a jumper direct to the motor and then use a battery or something direct to motor unless it is faulty.

[@darylcampbell742]

1736 great vid, many thanks. Made it easy.

[@ethanpn2003]

Bro, how about remote to roll up or down window IR sensor fix. Couldn’t separate the sensor out from the lock cylinder. Please help

[@iRepairAutos]

That's a tricky one. you might have to change the handle. That's where the senor lives.

[@robbie3304]

I was contemplating doing this on my w164 as my drivers door wing mirror doesn’t work properly, i tried to correct it with the launch diag but accidentally changed window settings so my windows dont work anymore🤷‍♂️so maybe i wont bother with taking the door panel off, as it looks like its all electrically😢 operated, a job for the garage i guess as i dont really know how to work my diag program, next option sell the car

[@dilyntv114]

Great video but for those who just need to replace a single button, this is not the way to go.

[@iRepairAutos]

I also have a video for that

[@martinkremlicka3483]

I did it, ty so much

[@iRepairAutos]

That's awesome!

[@tonycastro6154]

tnx for video,,,appreciate the hard work that takes to make this videos,,,,

[@skystudios2474]

Great video! Do you think the inner driver door panel is similar on a 2015 GLK-350? That's what I have, and window controls need replacing. Thanks!

[@denisk186]

I keep resetting the drive window switch over and over again because it doesn’t do the auto-up thing every single time. I would reset the switch and it works fine until I shut the car off and leave. When I come back it works for a few days and stops going up again… Do you think it’s most likely the master window switch or another little square module that sits under the door panel? I have a 2014 GLK 250. I don’t get any codes when I do diagnostics with my Mercedes-specific scanner. Thanks!

[@yasminvirani9910]

[@hiramhonorato8398]

Hello I replaced the door control of a W164 it didn't works, not only don't open the own window and the others but any window was possible to open with their own control..then weeks after I had to disconnect the main battery and when I reconnect it all windows were working....I wonder if it is neccesary to do something with program in computer.. do you please advice?
