Repairing Your Engine Wiring Harness - Page 11 - Benzworld.org - Mercedes-Benz Discussion Forum

I had to replace my harness on my 95 c220 with 110K.
Wanted to fix it first, but i am happy i bought new one, since the insulation was missing way deep into some connectors like MAF and others.
I got a discount at the MB Dealer and paid $520.
The job was fairly easy, but you need to raise the car, since you need access from underneath.
The new harness is made in spain by delco.
Now the car runs like a champ again, for another 14 years, i hope.

I think i'm having the same problem, the car stalls alot, it takes a while to shift gears (automatic). but it doesn't smoke no engine light comes on, although i'm having issue w/electrical. i was told it could be the Crank Position Sensor. i don't know i had this problem for a while. that is why i don't go far with it. i have a 1995 MB C-280. can someone tell me which problem could be? i appreciate your suggestions.

I am considering buying a W202 as a first car for my wife. With what year should I be safe with respect to wire harness issue?

beamster · 06-13-2009, 04:11 PM

I would stay away from the 1994 to 1996 Models, plus 1997 and up W202 have 5 speed automatic Transmissions, instead of the old 4 speed.

I bought a new harness for my 1994 c280.I mad now because its probably not the right one for my car.Everything is the same except 2 wires that appear to run from the starter solenoid up to the wire bundle that plugs in near the very front of the drivers side.Im trying to figure out if i can run those wires in somewhere else.The new harness has those 2 wires already in it but they run to the large jack that plugs into the ecu.A large lavendar or purple if u will and a smaller brown and black wire.if anyone knows what those two wires do i would really appreciate some input.

I exclusively SOLDER everything. If anyone needs this service, just remove your harness from the engine compartment and PM me for an address....

I have all the supplies to do this, and i ONLY use solder and heat shrink tubing, NO CRIMP CONNECTORS!!!

Would $300 per harness and about a week turn-around time be decent?

What do you guys think, im just trying to help....

Heck yes!!!! I got a 1995 c280 thats needs the harness rebuilt...if you can do for $300....then lets do this

Is a 2000 c280 harness ok? I am looking to buy one with harness issues already. What I am really wondering is, If I remove the harness to repair one part of it, will I cause several more problem areas by simply handling it to repair it? Is the insulation on this harness weak like the 94-97 model? Thanks
