PASSENGER REAR DOOR WILL NOT SHUT STUCK OPEN?

leave the fuel line of the prefilter and turn on the ignition
the pump should work and pump the tank to near empty
use care as the fuel is very volatile and collect it in a bucket or other dish or fuel container

My 2009 Sebring does the same thing occasionally but only the drivers door gets stuck (dead locked - even though the locks appear to pop up).
The solution I have found once this happens is:
1) The car needs to be driven (crawl in thru the passenger door) -even just a short distance
2) Engine shut off & doors locked with remote (after you've exited from the passenger door of course)
3) Leave turned off for 10 minutes
4) Doors will now open when unlocked with the remote

How to Adjust a Mercedes' Headlights

In the U.S. the type, adjustments, and illumination factors of all automobile lighting devices are regulated by the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108. The headlights must function and be adjusted correctly. Your high beams must disperse their beams straight forward and low beams down and to the right while safely providing illumination without too much or too little glare. It is wise to check the headlight adjustment on your Mercedes at least every year. Doing it yourself will save you time and money. It will also make driving safer for you and others you may meet on the road at night. All it takes is time, some basic tools and a little patience.

Show More Instructions

1. • 1 Open the hood and prop it up.
     
   • 2 Remove components if necessary to allow access to the left/right and up/down adjustment knobs. They are on top of the rear side of the headlight. The upper knob adjusts the beam to the left and right. The lower knob controls up/down adjustments.
     
   • 3 Park with the passenger side of the car parallel to a solid fence or wall and about four feet from it. When there is dim light or darkness, turn on the lights and use your screwdriver to adjust the up/down knob on the passenger-side headlight until the light beam is parallel to the ground (you can see the beam of light against the surface of the wall).
     
   • 4 Turn the car so that it faces the wall approximately one car length away. Adjust the up/down knob on the driver-side headlight until it is at the same level as the passenger side headlight. Then adjust both sides until the small groove on top of the beam cutoff is directly in front of the light.
     
   • 5 Reinstall any components that you removed. Close the hood.

there are small plastic gromets that hold the panel on try to be careful when you remove them,sometimes they break and you can go to the junk yarde and get some more , get your screwdriver behind the panel as close to the gromets as possible and pry out

There is a junction block about 6 inches in front of the battery on the fender, there should be battery voltage on the big wires. The small wire is the starter solenoid. Front the junction block, the power goes to the light switch then to the ignition switch.

Good Luck

Nope 1 fuse controls all the windows. Either its the switch or the window regulators themselves or due to the age the wiring.

is this the model with the vacumn operated govenor for the idle ??

it could be a turbo problem but i dont think its the transmission or it wouldnt be shifting.it almost has to be the turbo.

The waste gate is on the turbo....the can with a hose on it. The "regulator" on a 300d is in the diesel pump
