Mercedes-Benz window lift switch reset method is: 1. Open the driver's door of the Mercedes-Benz; 2. Depress the brake pedal of the Mercedes-Benz and start the engine; 3. Press the one-touch start button of the Mercedes-Benz; 4. All dashboard lights of the Mercedes-Benz will illuminate, and the engine will start; 5. Lift the window lift switch manually to fully raise the window, then hold the window lift switch without releasing it for more than 10 seconds. Taking the 2021 Mercedes-Benz A180 as an example, it belongs to the compact car category, with body dimensions of: length 4419mm, width 1796mm, height 1432mm, and a wheelbase of 2729mm. The 2021 Mercedes-Benz A180 features a front suspension of MacPherson strut independent suspension and a rear suspension of torsion beam non-independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.3L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 136PS, maximum power of 100kW, and maximum torque of 200Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
My Mercedes occasionally has non-responsive windows, so I reset the switch myself: first, turn the car key to the ON position without starting the engine, then hold the window switch to raise it all the way to the top without releasing, keeping it pressed for about 10 seconds to let the system reset its memory; then similarly, hold the switch to lower the window to the bottom and keep it pressed for another 10 seconds. Repeating this once or twice usually fixes the issue. If the window still sticks after resetting, it might be due to aging motors or wiring. In such cases, I check if the door seal has let water in, causing a short circuit. After washing the car, I always dry the switch area to prevent problems, saving myself frequent trips to the dealership. Fellow Mercedes owners can also try this method—it only takes a few minutes to resolve.
