Not sure on the relays but there is a small wire cable that operated each side, the older units had plastic ends that break off, it could be that both motors are fine and you have a broken actuator cable. If that is the case, there is a procedure you will have to follow to reset the timing cycle correctly. Try the search feature, I think I have seen instructions and pics in here before, good luck.

Do these motors typically fail? Is there a seperate relay for each side motor?
Also, to replace the motor if that is the failure, do any of the interior panels have to come off to remove and replace it?

I appreciate any help! And if any of you may have Mercedes questions, please feel free to ask!

Thank you,

Tony
