Second Hand Mercedes-Benz CLE Window Switch

You'll need to confirm the year of your CLE, the door position you need the switch for (NS nearside/passenger side or OS offside/driver side), and whether you need a master switch (driver's door, controlling all windows) or a single switch for another door. The CLE is a two-door coupe and convertible, so the door count is fixed, but the master switch and individual passenger switch are different parts. Always provide your registration to the breaker so they can match the exact switch unit to your car.

The Mercedes-Benz CLE (C236/A236) is a first-generation model that launched in 2023, so there is currently only one generation with no facelift yet established. This means switches from earlier CLEs should be consistent in design across the range so far, but you should always confirm against your registration with the breaker as minor production changes can occur mid-run without a formal facelift.

Trim level — whether your CLE is in AMG Line, AMG Line Premium, or AMG Line Premium Plus specification — does not in itself change the fundamental fitment of the window switch. Higher trims may have switches with additional functions such as one-touch or comfort-close features built into the unit, so the physical part may differ in button count or connector type. Tell the breaker your trim level and registration so they can supply a switch that matches your existing setup rather than just any CLE unit.

No — on the CLE the driver's door (OS, offside) carries the master switch panel controlling all windows, which is a larger multi-button unit, while the passenger door (NS, nearside) has a simpler single-window switch. These are different parts with different connectors, so make sure you tell the breaker clearly which door position you need. Quoting your registration alongside NS or OS will help the breaker pull the correct unit quickly.

The CLE (C236/A236) is a distinct model with its own body and interior architecture, and while Mercedes-Benz does share components across its range, you cannot assume a switch from a W206 C-Class or W213/W214 E-Class will physically or electrically interchange with a CLE unit. Some switch modules may look similar but have different connector configurations or software pairing requirements. Ask the breaker to check specifically against your CLE registration rather than accepting a C-Class or E-Class part as a direct swap.

Yes, it matters — the OS (offside, driver's right) door switch and the NS (nearside, passenger's left) door switch are different parts on the CLE, and fitting the wrong side will result in a mismatch of connectors or button layout. Always specify NS or OS clearly when contacting a breaker, and include your registration so they can confirm the exact switch part number for that door position. Never assume a switch pulled from the opposite side will work as a substitute.
