1998 Mercedes Benz Other Repair Question

Driver's side only wiring problem 98 E-320 Wagon
I have a 1998 Mercedes Benz E-320 4-Matic Wagon. The driver's
side electric window, seat adjust and mirror aren't working
AGAIN. The first time this happened I switched the S/W switch
from S to W and it magically got all of the above mentioned
features to work. Originally, I thought it was a fuse, but it must be some
funky wiring. It worked for a bout 3 weeks and last week it went
out again. Can you help? Thanks.

Sounds like a CAN problem control area network
just forward of the right door sill just below the kick panel you will find a junction block of many brown & brown and red wires unplug one at a time and see if the problem goes away. When things start working again the component at fault will not work. I would bet it's a window motor that is bringing down the CAN
