I sounds like the wiring harness may be breaking up…typically this happens where the harness goes through the body cavities between the chassis and the driver’s door, cause they get bent back & forth the most often and that’s the “main control panel” (for lack of a better term).

Pull one of the door panels and see if you have voltage on a nonoperating window when you activate the switch. Post the results.

Mercedes Benz 190. It’s under “tags”.

Yeah, I too am having difficulty getting used to this new format.
