w124 electric windows faulty/ wipers don;t work at all
Hi i have a w124 e220 estate 1995. the electric windows only work every couple of days! it is obviously not the fuses as they would not work at all ever (although when it first happened i checked them). could it be the relays? which one? where can i get a replacement?

the wipers also do not work at all. so no driving in the rain. do the wipers and the electric windows work on the same relay?

thank you for any help.

The wipers and windows are both powered via fuse 2 16A in the fuse box. The fuse holders can corrode leading to malfunction without the fuse blowing.

Leave the windows open when you can and the doors when safe to do so, do turn off the inside lamp
