Hello.
I've had my 2002 Mercedes S55 a little over a week now and have just
had my first problem. The front passenger door does not seem to
working.. that is, the power assist close, the folding side view mirror
and seat adjustments, etc are not working. Would anyone have ANY ideas
on what could be causing this? It seems to me that it may be a fuse or
something. But I'm not sure where to start looking. Should this be
taken to a dealer? Or could I expect my independent mechanic to be able
to fix this?? I have the fuse sheet but can't figure out which fuse to
look at. From what I could tell.. it may be F13 or F39 (40A). I check
both and both looked ok. I didn't want to go any farther.. so I thought
I'd ask for some help here. I would appreciate ANY advice on this. * *
Please e-mail me at daw@jhu.edu * *

If this is not the forum to post this, please let me know where else I
can ask for help.

Thanks in advance!

I doubt that there's a separate fuse just for those circuits on the
front passenger door. Are all of those functions activated from the
same switch or switch cluster? You might have a faulty switch or
wiring.

You can also try www.benzworld.org for information - there's a lot of
traffic to that site, and someone's probably seen your problem before.

Take it in to the stealership. Make sure they carefully describe the
problem and then keep the receipt or shop papers describing this
problem. Ask your lawyer to check the lemon laws in your state or the
state where the kar is kept and serviced. Then just keep taking it back
each time you see any problem and get it all documented. Then when the
lemon law requirement is met, take the kar in and get a different kar
for free! Oh - be sure to keep carefull records of repairs and repeated
repairs on the new kar too! This way you will probably never have to
pay for a new kar again. Yes, it is true - the stealership will not be
able to fix the problem. Ever.
