2000 MERCEDES SLK ELECTRIC ROOF PROBLEM

I have a CLK 2001 and my rear window buttons just work normally when the roof is down. I can even raise a rear window without raising the front one.

Depending on the year..

It's the switches in the front of the roof and the passenger side A pillar 69/SW1, 69/SW2 and 69/SW3.

The micro switches for the hard top latches are bad and not sending a closed signal to the control module. When they stop working the control module doesn't know the top is closed so it doesn't raise the windows. Those micro switches are known to go bad. I have changed quite a few of them before.

your can check is it something stuck in the lock, first operate your roof either way, if you are going to open the roof as a first action boot lid will open to backward, let boot lid fully open and stop operating the roof, ignition off and have a look if something stuck you can see, if you are going to close the roof let close the roof and before close the boot lid stop operating roof switch, otherwise faulty boot lid lock, if faulty lock but you can try by mettle key blade which is in your electronic key, first take out mettle key from electronic key then insert mettle key in to the key hole in boot lid turn fully left and open boot if not work turn fully left and push it in, is this information helped you?

If the top is half way down that means that the trunk is open and should be touching the trunk switch to continue the process. The switch must be bad and it is inside the rear right fender close the the stop light

Sounds like maybe some pin switches for interlocks have gone bad. Open your trunk and look for the rubber booted switches and try holding them or shorting them, if you make the top move it shows you which ones are bad.

Get a can of WD 40 spray lubricant at any auto parts store and carefully lubricate all of the moving parts of the roof system. This will likely solve your problem.

This symptom almost always points to a lubrication issue. The SLK hardtop is notorious for needing to belubricated every couple of years. Here is a link with directions andphotos:

hi,seem only adjustment of micro switch,but you need a tester(handheld tster) only a dealer have,

hi,you may check the rear fuse,it cover with a black plastic,for the window check front fuse number 19 and 20,also you check wiring connection between fuse box and multi-function control module
