The connector is used on the electronic transmissions of that vintage and is an easy and important fix. An O ring in the original connector fails and allows ATF to “wick” up the wiring harness from capillary action. I have heard of ECUs being damaged from the ATF making it all the way up to the “coffin” box via the transmission harness.
It’s a whopping $12 at the dealer for the part, and takes maybe all of 5 minutes to swap. -D > On Jun 7, 2017, at 5:54 PM, Meade Dillon via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> > wrote: > > That sounds pretty young to be a serious problem.
